Developer appeals

A DEVELOPER has appealed after being refused planning permission for a four-bedroom house in Sonning Common.

Hazlewood Estates wants to build in the garden of a property in Baskerville Road with access via Woodlands Road.

South Oxfordshire District Council refused consent on the grounds of scale, bulk, height and design and because the house would be out of keeping with the character of the area.

The developer argues that the area is “mixed” in its character and appearance.
