| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| By virtue of the design, scale and positioning of the wall and fence, which is adjacent to the highway and prominent within the public realm, the development will have a harmful visual impact on the street scene and the rural character of the local area. The development is therefore contrary to policies SWDP21 and SWDP 25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, Policies TOAD6 and TOAD9 of the Ombersley and Doverdale Neighbourhood Plan, The Design Guide SPD, and the National Planning Policy Framework. |

| In dealing with the application the Council has implemented the requirement in paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework to work with the applicant in a positive and proactive way. We have made available detailed advice in the form of our statutory policies in the Development Plan, Supplementary Planning Documents, as well as offering a full pre-application advice service in order to ensure that the applicant has been given every opportunity to submit an application which is likely to be considered favourably. Unfortunately the submitted application is not considered to accord with the advice available nor was pre-application advice sought prior to its submission. As a result the Council has been unable to seek solutions to problems arising from this application as the amendments required to make the application acceptable are substantial and are considered to materially change the development proposals. They would require further consultation to be undertaken prior to determination which could not take place within the statutory determination period specified by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government. Despite the Council’s efforts, it is considered that the current planning application should be refused for the reasons set out in the decision notice. The applicant is encouraged to seek pre-application advice prior to the submission of any further formal planning application. |
