| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| In dealing with the application the Council has implemented the requirement in paragraph 39 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. 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 39 of the NPPF. Despite these efforts, the Council still consider that planning permission should be refused for the reasons set out above. |
| Drawing no/s: 2642/LOC – Location Plan 2642/02 – Site Plan as Existing 2642/01A – Plan and Elevations as Existing (October 2024) 262/03 – Plan and Elevations as Existing – October 1999 2642/04 – Existing Garage and Greenhouse |
| By virtue of the cumulative scale and massing of the extensions and the replacement of original materials, the development fails to preserve the character of the host dwelling and the surrounding designated heritage assets. The less than substantial harm to the curtilage listed host dwelling, Rous Lench Conservation Area, and setting of Grade II* registered Rous Lench Court is not outweighed by any public benefit resulting from the development. The proposal is therefore considered to conflict with Local Plan policies SWDP6, SWDP21, SWDP24, and the guidance set down in section 16 of the NPPF. |
