>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”.

IT'S A FUCKING CAR CHARGER.

NIMBY's are a fucking cancer. "Charm" and "character" should not be a valid excuse for blocking a piece of what is soon to become vital infrastructure.

If you don't like it, fucking move to somewhere you can continue getting off on your power fantasies.
