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.
Plan policies cited: Policy DH1 of the Oxford Local Plan 2036, Policy H16 of the Oxford Local Plan 2036, Policy RE7 of the Oxford Local Plan 2036, Policy RE1 of the Oxford Local Plan 2036
