Why it was refused

  1. Due to its scale, size and height, the proposed side extension is not considered to be clearly secondary and subservient to the host dwelling and it is considered that the proposed extension would imbalance the symmetry of the original pair of houses, be out of proportion, and overwhelm the other semi-detached dwelling. The proposed development would be visible in the street scene and so would also give rise to adverse impacts in regards to visual amenity. Therefore, the proposed development is not considered to be of a proportionate and appropriate scale to its context, not form a logical complement to the existing character of the area nor demonstrate high quality design contrary to policies OS2, OS4 and H6 of the adopted West Oxfordshire Local Plan, the West Oxfordshire Design Guide 2016 and the relevant paragraphs of the NPPF 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
