Extension plan may be refused );

PLANS by a Henley councillor’s partner to enlarge their home have been recommended for refusal.
Highways officers at Oxfordshire County Council and a forestry officer at South Oxfordshire District Council, the planning authority, both oppose Catherine Notaras’s application.
Ms Notaras, who lives in a three-bedroom detached property in Elizabeth Road, Henley, with town, district and county councillor Stefan Gawsrysiak, wants to build a two-storey side and rear extension with a single-storey entrance porch, detached garage and separate car port, a new entrance with gates and dormer windows in the loft.
This would create an additional bedroom on the first floor and a self-contained bedsit on the storey below.

A WOMAN has been granted planning permission to extend her home in Henley despite opposition from a town councillor who lives next door.
Debbie Mason’s application for the single storey rear extension property in Elizabeth Road was approved by South Oxfordshire District Council, the planning authority.
Councillor Stefan Gawrysiak, her neighbour, spoke against the plans at meeting of the town council’s planning committee as a member of the public and took no part in its decison.
He said a window in the north flank would overlook the home he shares with his partner Catherine Notaras and there would be light spill into the couple’s bedroom. They would also be able to look into Mrs Mason’s kitchen.
