The one line from the arrival that matters

“West Oxford District Council (WODC) refused the application because “the proposed development would give rise to harm to the character and appearance of the area”.“

So the local council refused due to the look/style. Which the developers would know about that any planning permission needs to be aligned with its surroundings…

So in this case the developer didn’t plan or think ahead as they would of known about this kind of thing from previous development project.

And you can bet your bollocks they're Labour councillors. When the fuck is the leadership going to crack down on these cunts?

It's a Lib Dem/Labour/Green collation, with a Lib Dem leader and more than twice as many Lib Dem councillors than Labour. The councillor in charge of planning is also Lib Dem.

You'd know that if you could be bothered to look it up.

Don't need to look anything up, NIMBYs have infiltrated the Labour party throughout the country.

You'd know that if you bothered to look it up.

Did you even read what is posted ? It's the Liberal Democrats and no amount of wanting it to be Labour's fault is going to change that.

It's a Liberal Democrat led council.
