Why it was refused

  1. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the development cumulatively proposed is excessive and disproportionate in scale, form and massing, and does not coordinate well with that of the original dwelling on site. The development poses harm to the character and appearance of the dwelling and the site and the surrounding area contrary to Core Policy 37 of the adopted Local Plan 2031 Part 1, Policy 4.7A of the Faringdon Neighbourhood Plan, design principles on householder extensions held within the South and Vale Joint Design Guide SPD 2022, and the provisions of Chapter 12 (Achieving Well-Designed Places) of the National Planning Policy Framework, particularly paragraphs 135 and 139.

From the council's decision notice.
