| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The proposal by virtue of its design, with particular regard to scale, materials and design detailing represents an unacceptable and incongruous form of development which would harm the setting and established settlement pattern of Honeybourne contrary to South Worcestershire Development Plan policies SWDP1, SWDP2 (Criterion F), SWDP6, SWDP21, SWDP24, and SWDP25, Policies 4 and 5 of the Honeybourne Neighbourhood Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| The proposal represents unacceptable harm to the setting of heritage assets through its location, context and poor design contrary to South Worcestershire Development Plan policies SWDP1, SWDP6, SWDP21, and SWDP24, Policies H4 and H5 of the Honeybourne Neighbourhood Plan, and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| In the absence of a signed Section 106 legal agreement no arrangements are in place to secure the required provision of affordable housing; education contributions; public open space; primary healthcare contributions; highway contributions towards community and school transport and contributions towards formal sports and leisure. As such, the proposed development does not meet the objectives of sustainable development and cannot be delivered with acceptable impacts on the community. Therefore, the proposed development is contrary to Policies SWDP1, SWDP4, SWDP5, SWDP7, SWDP15 and SWDP39 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and Policy H2 of the Honeybourne Neighbourhood Plan. |
