| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The proposed development by reason of its location would conflict with the aims of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework to reduce reliance on the private car as a means of transport. The proposal would fail to minimise the demand for travel. There is limited footway infrastructure in the vicinity and the area is without street lighting and would not provide a safe walking distance to access the nearest facilities. Therefore, the proposal would not be sustainable in terms of location and is contrary to Policies SWDP1, SWDP2 and SWDP4 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework as a whole, and with particular regard to Chapter 9, that require development to minimise the demand for travel and offer genuinely sustainable travel choices. |
| The proposal represents the unjustified change of use and loss of rural employment land/ buildings contrary to policies SWDP2, SWDP8, and SWDP12 (which seeks to protect employment in rural areas); and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, in particular with regard to Section 6 and ‘supporting a prosperous rural economy’. Accordingly, it is concluded that the location and land use of the site is not suitable for residential development and that the proposal, considered holistically, fails to represent sustainable development. |
| Refused Drawing Number:- 2021/PA/100 A, 2021/PA/102 A. |
| 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. 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. |
