Condition Details / Information Notes
By virtue of its incongruous materials and detailing, the development fails to preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building and has resulted in harm to its significance. The use of modern uPVC materials does not reflect a conservation led approach, resulting in visually intrusive interventions that undermine the building’s historic character and composition. The development results in a ‘less than substantial’ level of harm that is not outweighed by any public benefits of the scheme. As such, the development is contrary to Policies SWDP 6: Historic Environment, SWDP 21: Design, and SWDP 24: Management of the Historic Environment of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, as well as Paragraphs 208 and 210 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
Drawing no/s: Site Location Plan and Block Plan – Dwg No. 25-031-01 Ground and First Floor Layout – Dwg No. 25-031-02 Existing and Proposed Elevation – Dwg No. 25 – 031 - 03
In dealing with the application the Council has implemented the requirement in paragraph 38 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.
