Reason: Having regard to Policy SWDP1, SWDP2, SWDP4, SWDP21, and SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework the local planning authority are not prepared to allow the introduction of permanent unrestricted residential development on the basis of how the application has been submitted and assessed, having regard to the settlement pattern and character and appearance of the countryside hereabouts.

The proposed unit/accommodation is only acceptable as a holiday let/ tourism development in accordance with Policy SWDP12 and SWDP35 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.

Reason: To ensure that the development hereby permitted is used for the specific use applied for, to prevent unrestricted residential development and in the interests of ensuring a sustainable pattern of development that also does not unduly increase reliance on the private motor vehicle, in accordance with polices SWDP1, SWDP2, SWDP4 SWDP21 and SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, and furthermore the proposed unit/accommodation is only acceptable as a holiday let/ tourism development in accordance with Policy SWDP12 and SWDP35 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan. |
