Condition Details / Information Notes
The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. 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/consent, 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: - 24:95:00 - 24:95:14 - 24:95:13 - 24:95:0 Reason: To define the permission.
The materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the extension hereby permitted shall match in type, colour, texture, size, coursing, jointing and pointing those used in the existing building. Reason - To ensure that the new materials are in keeping with the surroundings and/or represent quality design in accordance with policy SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
The development hereby permitted shall not be occupied at any time other than for holiday let accommodation and for purposes ancillary to the residential use of the dwelling known as Gurnox Cottage. The development shall not be occupied as a person or persons’ sole, or main place of residence. Reason - As a separate dwelling house in this location would not represent sustainable development and be contrary to the development location strategy set out in policy SWDP2 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
The owners/operators of the holiday let unit/visitor accommodation hereby approved shall maintain an up-to-date register of the names of all owners/occupiers of the unit/accommodation. This register shall be made available within 1 calendar month of a written request by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: 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 SWDP12 and/or SWDP35 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan. To grant permission without such a condition would be contrary to policy SWDP2 and/or SWDP12 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan .
Before the first occupation of the building(s) hereby permitted the window serving the ground floor en-suite shall be fitted with Pilkington Level 4 obscured glazing or equivalent and shall be permanently retained in that condition thereafter. Reason - To protect the amenities of adjoining/nearby properties from unacceptable overlooking/loss of privacy and/or represent quality design in accordance with policy SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) (or any order revoking, re-enacting, substituting, amending, extending, consolidating, replacing or modifying that Order), no building or enclosure, swimming or other pool required for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling house other than those expressly authorised by this permission shall be constructed/carried out on the application site following the completion/first use of the development hereby permitted. Reason: In order to protect the visual amenity of the area in accordance with SWDP 21 & 25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
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.
