18/00850/FUL: 18 Osler Road PDF 369 KB Site Address: 18 Osler Road, Oxford, OX3 9BJ
Proposal: Demolition of existing dwelling. Erection of a one and a half storey building to provide 2 x 2-bed dwellings (Use Class C3). Provision of private amenity space, and bin and cycle store.
Recommendation: East Area Planning Committee is recommended to:
(a) approve the application for the reasons given in the report andsubject to the required planning conditions set out in section 12 of the report and grant planning permission; and
(b) agree to delegate authority to the Head of Planning, Sustainable Development and Regulatory Services to:
finalise the recommended conditions as set out in the report including such refinements, amendments, additions and/or deletions as the Head of Planning, Sustainable Development and Regulatory Services considers reasonably necessary.
Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee considered an application for planning permission for the demolition of the existing dwelling; erection of a one and a half storey building to provide 2 x 2-bed dwellings (Use Class C3); and provision of private amenity space, and bin and cycle store at 18 Osler Road, Oxford, OX3 9BJ
Mr Deepwell and Mr Peacock, local residents, spoke against the application, including but not restricted to the impact on the historic house at 17 Stephen Road and the narrow access to the development.
Lillian Duffield, agent for the applicant, spoke in support of the application, including but not restricted to outlining the design, scale, and safety of the proposal.
The Committee asked questions of the planning officers and speakers and in discussion raised concerns including: the impact on the neighbouring properties, in particular the detrimental impact on the amenity of 17 Stephen Road of the increased height and reduced separation of the nearest facing wall of the new dwelling; the inadequacy of the access given the increased number of occupants, particularly for fire access; the size and scale of the development creating a cramped feel to the site; and the detrimental effect of these factors on the character of the area.
In the light of the concerns expressed above and notwithstanding the officer’s recommendation of approval, on being put to the vote the Committee agreed to refuse the application for the reasons set out below, and delegated authority was given to the Head of Planning, Sustainable Development and Regulatory Services to finalise the wording of the refusal reasons.
The Committee resolved to REFUSE planning permission for application 18/00850/FUL for the following reasons:
1. The development was cramped and overdeveloped in its scale, form, height, positioning and design, creating an unacceptable development particularly with regard to the artisan nature of nearby properties. 2. The reduced separation from 17 Stephen Road coupled with the increased height of the new dwelling had a significant detrimental impact on the amenity of this property. 3. The pedestrian-only access was long, narrow and cramped and as such was inadequate for two individual dwellings with particular concern raised over fire access.
