1.    The proposal by reason of its size, siting and height would be detrimental to the amenity of both neighbouring properties on the basis of its overbearing appearance and the loss of light it would cause.  As such the proposal would be contrary to saved policy H13 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan and to advice in the South Oxfordshire Design Guide.

2.    The proposal by reason of its size, height and design would be out of keeping with the character of the existing bungalow and the appearance of the street scene and immediate area.  As such the proposal would be contrary to Policy CSQ3 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Core Strategy, saved policies G2 and H13 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan and to advice in the South Oxfordshire Design Guide.
