| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| Drawing no/s: LE01 BL01 Application Form (redacted) Water Management Statement |
| 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. |
| The proposed development would, by virtue of its scale, depth and proximity to neighbouring properties, appear as an unduly dominant addition to the dwelling and result in an unacceptable loss of outlook and natural light to adjoining occupiers. The proposal would therefore give rise to an overbearing impact that would significantly harm the living conditions of neighbouring residents and the character of the area. The development is therefore contrary to Policy SWDPR28 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026 and Paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
