| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The proposed extension, by virtue of its increased ridge height and resultant scale and massing, would fail to appear subordinate or subservient to the existing dwelling. The development would result in a visually prominent and incongruous addition that would harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding streetscene. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies SWDPR28 and SWDPR34 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review and paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework, which seek to ensure that development achieves a high standard of design and responds positively to its local context. |
| The Local Planning Authority has acted positively and proactively in determining this application by assessing the proposal against planning policy and any other material considerations by identifying matters of concern with the proposal and determining the application within a timely manner, clearly setting out the reason(s) for refusal, allowing the Applicant the opportunity to consider the harm caused and whether or not it can be remedied by a revision to the proposal. The Local Planning Authority is willing to provide pre-application advice in respect of any future application for a revised development. |
