| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The proposed shipping containers and fencing would, by reason of their design, appearance and massing create an incongruous addition to the site which would be out of keeping with the local rural landscape character, and location which forms the setting of an AONB/ National Landscape. The storage containers and fencing are of poor design quality and out of keeping and harmful to the rural context. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies 21 and 23 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, including Paragraphs 135 and 180 specifically. |
| The proposed storage containers would result in an unfettered B8 land use being introduced into the open countryside, with no details providing justification nor what business the storage containers wills serve. The proposed use would not represent an expansion of an existing rural business or farm diversification and is therefore contrary to policies 8 and 12 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
