Why it was refused

  1. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the proposed development of 1no. residential dwelling upon current garden land associated with White Rosen, Wantage, OX12 8EF, would result in a cramped, disproportionate form of residential development to the rear of existing dwellings along Icknield Lane and Trinder Road, that would materially harm the modest nature and appearance of the site, and that would be out of keeping with the prevailing plot pattern and grain of development characteristic of the immediate local area. The proposed development is considered to contrary to Policy CP37 of the Local Plan 2031 Part 1, Policy 04 of the Wantage Neighbourhood Plan 2023- 2031, and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework on achieving well-designed places, in particular paragraph 135. NB: The proposed development is hereby refused in accordance with the following drawing numbers and supporting documents: P25/V2783/FUL - Location Plan drwgno 1219 600 - Site Plan Proposed drwgno 1219 602 - Site Plan Proposed drwgno 1219 606 - Illustrative Site Section drwgno 1219 607 - Elevations Proposed drwgno 1219 605 - Roof and Floor Plan Proposed drwgno 1219 603 - Cycle Store Proposed drwgno 1219 609 - Design and Access Statement (by SJD Ltd, dated December 2025) 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.
