| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The application site lies outside of any defined development boundary within the open countryside, where development is strictly controlled under Policy SWDPR03 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review. The Council can currently demonstrate a 5 year supply of deliverable housing site with 5% buffer. Consequently, the Council’s policies for the supply of housing are considered to be up-to-date and the ‘tilted balance’ is not engaged as per paragraph 11(d) of the Framework. The proposal does not fall within any of the exceptions set out under Policy SWDPR03, and the principle of new dwellings in this location is therefore not supported by the development plan. It would not accord with the planned sustainable Spatial Development Strategy set out in Development Plan policy SWDPR03 and NP1. |
| The proposed development seeks to extend an existing Permission in Principle for three dwellings by introducing development further to the rear of the approved properties in a location where the setting is open and rural vistas interspersed with a limited number of buildings and on land outside any defined settlement boundary. The additional projection into the site and subsequent built form that this will encourage would erode the sense of openness and introduce an uncharacteristic form of development, causing harm to both the immediate landscape, settlement character and surrounding heritage assets. The proposal would fail to preserve the setting of the Conservation Area, Trueblue Farm, the Barn at Trueblue, Corner Cottage and Manor Farmhouse and their significance as a designated heritage assets. As such it would fail to accord with the requirements of The Planning (The Planning Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Also with section 16 of the NPPF which requires that great weight be afforded to the preservation of heritage assets including their setting. It would also be contrary to the conservation aims of policies SWDPR9 and SWDPR33 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2026 (SWDPR). |
