Small cottage

A DEVELOPER has re-submitted a bid to replace an “uninhabitable” cottage in Blounts Farm.

Investfront was denied permission in January to replace Appletree Cottage with a larger home with living space in the roof.

South Oxfordshire District Council said that it had failed to demonstrate the need for a larger dwelling and why it was no longer needed to serve the agricultural business on site.

It has now re-applied for a home with a reduced scale and height and submitted a letter from the current tenant which says the cottage has “uncontrollable” damp and mould. The district council will make a decision by April 1.
