Single-storey side extension at The Paddock, Cote, Bampton

“Application Details: Erection of single storey side extension with roof lights, and associated works…”

“The application seeks planning permission for the erection of a single storey side extension with roof lights, and associated works at The Paddock, Cote. The application site relates to a detached dwelling located down a private track in Cote.”

“The site does not fall within any areas of special designated control and therefore the main considerations of this application are the impact of the proposed development on the visual amenity and the impact of the proposed development on the residential amenity.”

“The proposed extension would not be visible on the street scene and would be clearly secondary and subservient to the host dwelling with appropriate materials and design and therefore would not give rise to any adverse impacts in regards to visual amenity.”

“Local Plan Policy OS2 states that new development should be compatible with adjoining uses and not have a harmful impact on the amenity of existing occupants. The importance of minimising adverse impacts upon the amenity of future and neighbouring occupiers is reiterated in Policy OS4 and the West Oxfordshire Design Guide.”

“No third party representatives have been received.”

“The proposal was put to the vote and agreed by the Sub-Committee. RESOLVED: That the application be approved.”
