| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The proposed development represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt, which is harmful by definition. The proposed development would harm the openness of the Green Belt and conflict with the purposes of including land within it. The proposed development therefore conflicts with Policy SWDP2, SWDP13 and SWDP16 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and Section 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| Outline planning permission has previously been granted (Ref: W/23/01123/OU) for the construction of up to 6 affordable dwellings on the site (under the exception provisions of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and National Planning Policy Framework) for which there is a demonstrable and unmet local need. The proposals would frustrate the delivery of much needed affordable housing in the district (along with reducing the overall number of dwellings coming forward) contrary the Government’s stated aims of ensuring that the needs of groups with specific housing requirements are addressed, and not utilising the most efficient use of land. The proposal therefore conflicts with Policy SWDP13 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024). |
| The proposal undermines and impacts on the public's confidence and trust in the Planning system, and those who participate in it. |
