| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| By virtue of it's size, scale and siting, the proposed extension would further distort the original built form of the dwelling resulting in a harmful cumulative impact of development as such to over dominate the character and historic core of the original dwelling. As such the proposal would conflict with SWDP 6, SWDP 24, and SWDP 21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016) as well as the guidance of the South Worcestershire Design Guide SPD (2018). |
| 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. |
