| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The application site is situated in the open countryside and its location is not sustainable due to the limited travel choices available and the lack of street lighting along the B4211. Potential occupiers would be heavily reliant on private motor vehicles to get to and from the site. Due to its location, it would significantly reduce the positive benefits that lay behind the policy objectives of securing reduced travel. Furthermore, as the site is poorly related to local services, this would increase the need for journeys to be made by private motor vehicle. As such, the proposal would not be sustainable in terms of location and is contrary to Policies SWDP1, SWDP2, SWDP4 and SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework, Chapter 9, particularly paragraphs 109, 110, 112, 115, 116 and 117 that require development to minimise the demand for travel and offer genuinely sustainable travel choices. |
| Positive and Proactive Statement. In dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following ways:- providing a pre-application advice service and making planning policies available to the public. Despite these efforts, the Council still consider that planning permission should be refused for the reasons set out above. |
