Refused, reasons to be set out in the minutes

The Committee considered application 15/01513/F for the erection of a single and two storey extension to outbuilding to provide garage and store at The Gables, 4 Westbourne Court, Bloxham, OX15 4HD for Mr & Mrs J Tibbetts.

Roger Coy, agent for the applicant, addressed the committee in support of the application.

In reaching their decision, the Committee considered the officers’ report, presentation, written update and the address of the public speaker.

Resolved

That application 15/01513/F be refused for the following reasons:

By reason of its scale, form and massing, the proposal would result in a building of excessive scale that would not be subservient to the main dwelling, which would be visually incongruous displaying poor design, and would result in a cramped form of overdevelopment that would adversely affect the character and appearance of the street scene and that of the local area.  The proposal therefore fails to accord with Policy ESD15 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 and Policies C28 and C30 of the Cherwell Local Plan 1996 and paragraphs 17, 58 and 64 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
