| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The development lies in an open countryside location, outside a development boundary as defined by the South Worcestershire Development Plan where new development is strictly controlled under Policy SWDP 2 C. The proposed development does not form any exception to this rule and as such would be considered contrary to policy SWDP2 that sets out the settlement hierarchy and development strategy for South Worcestershire. However, the Council cannot currently demonstrate a 5yr housing land supply and as such Policy SWDP2 is considered to be out of date. Notwithstanding this consideration, the development would not minimise demand for travel, not offer genuinely sustainable travel choices and future occupiers of the development would be reliant on the use of the private car for their day to day needs. In addition the development would fail to integrate effectively with its surroundings and would fail to reinforce local distinctiveness. As such, the proposals are contrary to Policies SWDP2, SWDP 4 and SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework |
| The proposed development would encroach into open countryside and would be out of character with the surrounding area as it would dilute the existing distinctive linear settlement pattern of the village of Kington. As such the proposed development is contrary to policy SWDP25 (Landscape Character) of the adopted South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| The proposal fails to provide adequate information to demonstrate that the proposals would not result in a severe or unacceptable impact on the local highway, and safe and suitable access can be ensured for all users. As such the proposal would be contrary to policy SWDP 4 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| The proposal being a site which requires the provision of affordable houses includes insufficient arrangements and no Section 106 legal agreement has been entered into to provide either on-site affordable housing provision or an off-site contribution in lieu of such on-site provision. As such, the application is contrary to policy SWDP15 (Affordable Housing) of the adopted South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016 and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| The development would require the provision of off-site BNG to secure the statutory 10% BNG and no Section 106 legal agreement has been entered into to provide off-site BNG. As such, the application is contrary to policy SWDP22 of the adopted South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016 and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
