Condition Details / Information Notes
The host building occupies a highly visible position in a row of commercial properties fronting the south side of the main A449 road through Malvern Link Conservation Area. The proposed development, by reason of the addition of a first floor bay window, associated fenestration and external cladding result in no enhancement to the historic environment, and gives rise to an appearance that would be detrimental to the host building and wider street scene of the Worcester Road. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policies SWDP 6, SWDP 21 and SWDP 24 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016), Policy MD1 and MD2 of the Malvern Town Neighbourhood Plan (2019), Paragraphs 215 and 216 of the National Planning Policy Framework and paragraph 5.6.13 of the Malvern Link Conservation Area Appraisal (2009).
The proposed development does not provide adequate habitable space, falling short of that which is outlined within the Technical Housing Standards- Nationally Described Space Standards. The proposal therefore would not comply with Paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework as it would fail to provide a high standard of amenity for existing and future occupiers.
