| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| 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/drawings/documents – CHF01, 02 & 06, Reason: To define the permission. |
| The development hereby permitted shall not be occupied at any time other than for purposes ancillary to the residential use of the dwelling known as Crowcroft House Farm or as holiday let accommodation.

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 . |
| 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. |
