| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The application site lies outside of any settlement defined under saved Policy GD1 of the Wychavon District Local Plan 2006 and is not allocated for development either in the Local Plan or in the emerging South Worcestershire Development Plan. Saved Policy GD1 seeks to direct most new development to defined settlements and therefore the proposed development is contrary to the provisions of the development plan. The development of this site would therefore be incompatible with the principles of sustainable development as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework which seeks to resist isolated homes in the countryside unless there are special circumstances and to manage patterns of growth to make the fullest possible use of sustainable modes of travel. The proposed development will also go against the aims of the development plan to both concentrate most new residential development to sites within or adjacent to urban areas and also to reduce reliance upon private motor vehicles as a means of transport. Given the location of the site, it is likely that the proposal will result in a high dependence upon the private motor vehicle to reach nearby facilities within surrounding villages/towns, given that there is no safe pedestrian access from the site to relevant village facilities. The proposed development would thereby be incompatible with the advice and guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework (at paras 14, 17, 55 and 95), as well as saved policies GD1 and GD2 of the adopted Wychavon District Local Plan (2006) and policy SWDP2 of the emerging South Worcestershire Development Plan. The benefits of two additional house are significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the disadvantages of the scheme. |
| The application fails to demonstrate that the application site could accommodate two residential units without significant detrimental harm to the historic and established built character of the village. Due to the nature of the application site, it is reasonable to conclude any development consisting of two units would result in built development sited back from the highway, behind existing residential properties. Such an arrangement would be at odds to the historic and established built form and character of the village. As such the proposals are contrary to saved Policies GD2 and SUR1 of the Wychavon District Local Plan (June 2006); the advice contained within the Residential Design Guide (Supplementary Planning Document); and paragraphs 7 and 58 of the National Planning Policy Framework |
| The submission has failed to reasonably demonstrate that safe vehicular access to serve the proposed development can be achieved off the existing highway network. Furthermore, the proposal fails to demonstrate that suitable pedestrian facilities are available from the site. As such, the proposals are contrary to saved Policy GD2 of the Wychavon District Local Plan (June 2006) and paragraphs 35 and 58 of the National Planning Policy Framework |
| Without the undertaking of a presence/absence reptile survey and being party to the findings, the local planning authority is unable to determine whether the proposed development would result in significant harm to the interests of biodiversity through potential adverse effects or risk of adverse effect to reptile species. Also without survey results to identify the presence of reptiles at the application site, the local planning authority is unable to determine whether significant harm can be prevented, adequately mitigated against or compensated for. As such, insufficient information has been provided to ascertain whether the proposed development would be in accordance with saved Policy ENV6 of the Wychavon District Local Plan, the EU Habitats Directive as well as paragraph 118 of the National Planning Policy Framework. The lack of sufficient survey work and subsequent survey results is also contrary to the provisions of Planning for Biodiversity and Geological Conservation: A Guide to Good Practice. |

| Positive and Proactive Statement In dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following ways:- - providing pre-application advice; - considering the imposition of conditions. In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application. This is in accordance with paragraphs 186 and 187 of the NPPF. The concerns to the scheme were highlighted to the applicant's agent on 24/12/2014. Unfortunately no response was ever received. Despite these efforts, the Council still consider that planning permission should be refused for the reasons set out above. |
