Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extensions are disproportionate to the original building and therefore constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt. The increase in volume will result in harm to the openness of the Green Belt. There are no other considerations which outweigh the harm to the Green Belt from the inappropriate development and the loss of openness and therefore the application is contrary to Policy CP13 of the adopted Local Plan, Policy PP.2 of the Radley Neighbourhood Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework. NB: The development to which this refusal relates is liable to pay the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) as set out in the Vale of White Horse Charging Schedule. Please refer to the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended).

From the council's decision notice.
