| Agent | Mr David Addison, AddisonRees Planning Consultancy Ltd |
| Agent Address | Unit 12A Top Barn Business Centre Ltd Holt Heath Worcester WR6 6NH |
| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| Although the proposal is described as self-build dwellings, due to insufficient evidence to demonstrate that the initial owner of each dwelling has had primary input into the final design and layout of the dwellings, the proposal is therefore contrary to ‘The Self Build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015’ and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| Further to Refusal Reason 1, above, the proposal is therefore not an exemption from Biodiversity Net Gain requirements (BNG) and is therefor contrary to Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as inserted by Schedule 14 of the Environment Act 2021), Government Guidance ‘Understanding biodiversity net gain’ (Last updated 22 February 2024) and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| In the absence of a legal agreement to secure an affordable housing contribution, the proposal would be contrary to Policy SWDP 15 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| The following drawings and documents were submitted: A100 (Site and Location Plans, revised January 2025) A101 (House Plans, revised January 2025) A102 (House Elevations, revised January 2025) A103 (Garage Plans and Elevations) Planning Statement (including Water Management Statement) prepared by AddisonRees Planning Consultancy Ltd Energy Statement Foul drainage assessment form Preliminary Ecological Appraisal prepared by Focus Environmental Consultants (Dated September 2024) |
