| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| By virtue of its scale, form and design, the proposal would not represent a high quality design that would integrate effectively with the host dwelling and results in a visually dominant and incongruous feature within the street scene, thus failing to integrate successfully within the immediate locality. The proposal is also considered to result in a harmful level of overshadowing and would appear as an overbearing feature towards the neighbouring dwelling of 3 Baughton Hall Cottages to the north. The proposal is therefore considered contrary to policy SWDP21 and SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, the principles of the South Worcestershire Design Guide SPD 2018, as well as guidance contained within Section 12 of the Framework. |
| Due to inaccuracies in the submitted elevational drawings, it is unclear as to the extent of works to the existing roofline. As such, the Council is unable to confirm whether the proposed development would result in an unacceptable impact upon protected bat species. The proposal is therefore considered contrary to policy SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and guidance contained within Section 15 of the Framework. |

| In dealing with the application the Council has implemented the requirement in paragraph 39 of the National Planning Policy Framework to work with the applicant in a positive and proactive way. We have made available detailed advice in the form of our statutory policies in the Development Plan, Supplementary Planning Documents, as well as offering a full pre-application advice service in order to ensure that the applicant has been given every opportunity to submit an application which is likely to be considered favourably. Unfortunately, the submitted application is not considered to accord with policy. As a result, the Council has been unable to seek solutions to problems arising from this application as the amendments and additional information required to make the application acceptable are substantial and would be required to be submitted as a new planning application. Despite the Council’s efforts, it is considered that the current planning application should be refused for the reasons set out in the decision notice. The applicant is encouraged to seek pre-application advice prior to the submission of any further formal planning application |
