| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The proposed development would result in adverse impact on the character of the landscape by reason of the location and land use, which would result in encroachment into the countryside and introduce domestication and urbanisation of the rural landscape. Reason: The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies SWDP21 and SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, 2016 together with the Worcestershire County Council Landscape Character Assessment 2018 together with the relevant objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| The application represents unsustainable development as the site lies outside of defined development boundary and some distance from any designated settlement within open countryside. Reason: The proposed land use would fail to safeguard and (wherever possible) enhance the open countryside contrary to the strategic objectives of Policy SWDP1 and SWDP2 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, 2016 and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| The following drawings are relevant to this decision: Site Location Plan 01 - Received 18.11.24 Illustrative site plan 02 - Received 18.11.24 |
| 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. The Council has however been unable to seek solutions to problems arising from this application as the applicant has failed to provide a scheme that would comply with the statutory policies of the development plan and would not overcome the reasons for refusal. Despite the Council’s efforts, it is considered that planning permission should be refused for the reasons set out in the decision notice. |
