Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the revised design upon the character and appearance of the original building and the area

What decided it

The proposed increase in roof height would harmfully overwhelm the original building's modest appearance and introduce a discordant feature incompatible with the countryside setting, conflicting with the development plan policies requiring respect for character and appearance.

Plan policies cited: Development Policy 7 of the Vale of White Horse District Council Local Plan 2031 Part 2, Core Policy 37 of the Vale of White Horse District Council Local Plan 2031 Part 1

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
