| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The proposed development by reason of its location and access 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. 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 proposed development, by virtue of its location, would result in a materially harmful impact on the character and appearance of the landscape and represent encroachment into the open countryside, introducing domestication within the rural landscape. This harm carries significant weight and would significantly outweight the limited benefits of the proposal. Accordingly, the proposal is contrary to Policies SWDP 21 and SWDP 25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016), Policy EH3 of the Harvington Neighbourhood Plan (2025), and the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, particularly Section 12 – Achieving well-designed places, including the requirements of paragraph 135 (a–d) and paragraph 139. |
