| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| By virtue of its backland nature and position in relation to other buildings and dwellings in the locality, the proposed development would be discordant with the existing core shape and built form of the nucleated cluster of development along Blacksmiths Lane and Field Barn Lane, failing to integrate with the existing pattern of development to the detriment of the character and appearance of the area. The proposal would fail to integrate effectively in terms of its relationship to its surrounding and other built form. The proposal would therefore fail to comply with the requirements of Policy SWDP 21 (Design) and SWDP 25 (Landscape Character) of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, 2016 together with South Worcestershire Design Guide SPD, 2018. |
| The proposed development would result in unacceptable loss of amenity and an overbearing impact on to the adjacent neighbour at Summer Place contrary to Point iv within Policy SWDP21 (Design) of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, 2016. |
| In the absence of a secure mechanism to provide a financial contribution towards the provision of off site affordable housing in accordance with policy SWDP15 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, the proposal would conflict with SWDP15 and would fail to meet the social objectives of sustainable development as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework. |

| Positive and Proactive Statement. In dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following ways: - seeking further information following receipt of the application; - seeking amendments to the proposed development following receipt of the application; - considering the imposition of conditions and or the completion of a s.106 legal agreement In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application. This is in accordance with paragraph 38 of the NPPF. Despite these efforts, the Council still consider that planning permission should be refused for the reasons set out above. |
