Condition Details / Information Notes
The proposed development by reason of its location is in an unsustainable countryside location and 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. Furthermore, the proposal would undermine wider Government aims and objectives including Net Zero and Carbon emission targets.
The proposal would introduce a new residential development that would have a suburbanising effect on the character and appearance of the rural landscape and countryside thereabouts contrary to Polices SWDP2, SWDP21 and SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework, including Section 12 and 15 of the Framework (which all seek to safeguard/enhance the countryside and protect it from inappropriate development). Accordingly, it is concluded that the location, land use and amount of the site is not suitable for residential development and that the proposal, considered holistically, fails to represent sustainable development.
