| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| Insufficient information has been provided in order to assess the impact on the surrounding heritage assets namely the Tenbury Wells Conservation Area and the White House which has a curtilage listed wall forming part of the application site. As such the impact cannot be properly assessed and the proposal has the potential to cause harm to designated heritage assets contrary to SWDP 6 and 24 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan. |
| Due to the limited visibility onto Westview terrace and the likely increase in traffic movements as a result of the development, there would be an increase in potential for conflict with other vehicles and pedestrians. As such the proposal fails to demonstrate that a safe access can be achieved for all users and is therefore contrary to SWDP4 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan. |
| Positive and Proactive Statement. In dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following ways:- seeking further information following receipt of the application. 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 paragraph 39 of the NPPF. Despite these efforts, the Council still consider that planning permission should be refused for the reasons set out above. |
