without planning permission, the erection of a dormer roof extension in the rear roof slope of the dwelling house

Authority: South Oxfordshire District Council
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Hawkins S

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the surrounding area
The effect on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring residential property, having regard to privacy and overbearing
The consequences of refusing planning permission and upholding the enforcement notice for the appellant and their family

What decided it

The dormer unacceptably harms the character and appearance of the dwelling and surrounding area in conflict with the Development Plan, with no material considerations indicating the decision should be made otherwise.

Plan policies cited: Policy DES1, Policy DES2, Policy DES6

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.
