| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The Heritage Statement as submitted contains very limited detail and does not adequately set out the significance of the surrounding heritage assets and the impact that the proposal would have. The scale and design of the building has been insufficiently justified and would appear out of context with the site and the character of the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore considered to result in less than substantial harm caused to the setting of Hadzor Hall and St John the Baptist Church. No public benefits have been identified which would outweigh this harm. As such the proposal would not accord with the conservation aims of policies SWDP6, SWDP21 and SWDP24 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016 (SWDP). The proposal is also not considered to meet the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework including chapters 12 and 16 as well as Section 66 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 |
| Drawing no/s: Site Plan 1:500 Location Plan 1:2500 24/803/1 Proposed Garage Gym and Sun Lounge |
| By virtue of the size, scale and design of the proposed outbuilding, the proposal is not complementary to the character of the host dwelling and its surrounding area. The proposal does not demonstrate a clear reliance on the host dwelling and would not be of a size and scale to reflect its ancillary function. The proposal would therefore conflict with Policy SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the South Worcestershire Design Guide SPD. |
| Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposed development would not have an unacceptable adverse effect on the surrounding trees which are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO/W/42/02/001/TPO). The proposal is therefore not compliant with Policy SWDP22 and SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan. |
| 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. 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. |
