Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers of both the existing and new dwellings, with particular regard to provision of private amenity space
the effect of the proposed development on the Council's energy and carbon reduction targets

What decided it

The two-storey extension would project significantly beyond the established building line, disrupting the openness of the corner junction and harming the character and appearance of the area in breach of Policy DH1.

The compliance with energy and carbon reduction targets did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance and the failure to provide adequate private amenity space in breach of the development plan.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy DH1 of the Oxford Local Plan 2036Policy H16 of the Oxford Local Plan 2036Policy RE7 of the Oxford Local Plan 2036Policy RE1 of the Oxford Local Plan 2036
