Reason: To conform with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. |
| Unless where required or allowed by other conditions attached to this permission the development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the information (including details on the proposed materials) provided on the application form and the following plans: 25 PTH - 11, 25 PTH - 12, 25 PTH 0 13A, 25 PTH - 14A.
Reason: To define the permission in accordance with Policy SWDPR 01 and SWDPR 03 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (March 2026) and the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| The development hereby permitted and as shown on the approved plans listed under Condition 2 of this Decision Notice shall be used for holiday accommodation only (and shall not be occupied as a person or persons’ sole, or main place of residence) and for no other purpose including any other purpose within Class C of the Schedule of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987, or in any provision equivalent to that Class in any statutory instrument revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modification.
Reason: Having regard to Policy SWDPR 01 SWDPR 03 , SWDPR 06 , SWDPR 28 and SWDPR 34 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework the local planning authority are not prepared to allow the introduction of permanent unrestricted residential development on the basis of how the application has been submitted and assessed, having regard to the settlement pattern and character and appearance of the countryside hereabouts.
Furthermore the proposed unit/visitor accommodation would be situated in the open countryside, outside any defined settlement boundary where new residential development will be strictly controlled. The proposed unit/accommodation is only acceptable as a holiday let/ tourism development in accordance with Policy SWDPR 03 part D and and SWDPR 45 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review. To grant permission without such a condition would be contrary to policy SWDPR 03 and SWDPR 45 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| The owners/operators of the site shall maintain an up-to date register of the names of all occupiers of the accommodation and of their main home address (i.e. place of residence) and shall make this information available at all reasonable times to the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: To ensure that the development hereby permitted is used for the specific use applied for, to prevent unrestricted residential development and in the interests of ensuring a sustainable pattern of development that also does not unduly increase reliance on the private motor vehicle, in accordance with polices SWDPR 01, SWDPR 03, SWDPR 06, SWDPR 28 and SWDPR 34 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (March 2026) and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, and furthermore the proposed unit/accommodation is only acceptable as a holiday let/ tourism development in accordance with Policy SWDR 03 and SWDPR 45 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review. |

| Prior to the first use of the development hereby permitted secure cycle parking to comply with the Council’s standards shall be provided and these facilities shall thereafter be retained for the parking of cycles only.
Reason: To promote sustainable travel and reduce car dependence in accordance with policies SWDPR 01 and SWDPR 06 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (March 2026) and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| Prior to the first use of the development hereby permitted, the details set out in the submitted Water Management Statement shall be fully implemented and remain thereafter.
Reason: To ensure that an appropriate sustainable drainage system is provided to serve the development in accordance with policy SWDPR 29 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (March 2026) and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| Buildings, and particularly roofs and the spaces underneath them, are frequently used as roosting sites by bats. Bats and their 'roost' sites are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats & Species Regulations 2017 (as amended), the latter of which deems them a European Protected Species. It is a criminal offence to damage or destroy a roost (even if bats are not occupying the roost at the time), to deliberately kill or injure a bat, disturb a bat in its roost, or intentionally or recklessly obstruct access to a bat roost. Planning consent for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under these acts.
Any removal of roof and wall coverings including roof tiles, slates, hanging tiles, timber boarding, soffit boxes and fascia boards shall be carried out carefully by hand. If bats or any sign of bats such as an accumulation of droppings are encountered at any stage of work, work must cease immediately and advice sought from an appropriately licenced bat ecologist on how to proceed lawfully. All contractors working on site should be made aware of the advice and provided with the contact details of a relevant ecological consultant.
|
| Work should avoid disturbance to nesting birds. Nesting birds are protected under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act and the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. The main nesting season lasts approximately from March to September, so work should take place outside these dates if at all possible.
However, birds can nest at any time and the site including any buildings should ideally be checked for their presence immediately before work starts. |
| Positive and Proactive Statement. No problems have arisen in dealing with this application. The planning application sought an acceptable form of development consistent with the requirements of relevant policies and material considerations. No amendments or alterations were therefore required and no further positive or proactive action was deemed necessary. |
