Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of Nos 8 and 10 Havelock Road and on the street scene
What decided it
The infilling of the gap between Nos 8 and 10 would disrupt the regular layout and visual relief of the street scene, creating an incongruous and uncharacteristic appearance that conflicts with Policies DH1 and G6 of the Oxford Local Plan 2036 and the Framework's requirement for good design sympathetic to local character.
Framework references: 9, 11, 132
Plan policies cited: Policy DH1, Policy G6
