| Agent Address | Woodland View Stone Meadow Butts Lane Stone Kidderminster DY10 4BH |
| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| By virtue of the size, scale and design of the proposed development, the extensions would result in a disproportionate addition to the existing dwelling and would represent a non-subservient design with the existing that would appear out of context within the surrounding built form. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and Policy TOAD9: Design Principles of the Ombersley and Doverdale Neighbourhood Development Plan (October 2021). |
| 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. |
