| Agent Address | 4 The Courtyard (EN/DW/11076) Timothy's Bridge Road Stratford upon Avon CV37 9NP |
| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| By virtue of the design, scale and massing, the proposed two-storey front extension would appear incongruous and insensitive to its local context and lacks subservience to the existing host dwellinghouse. The proposed development would not represent a high design quality that would integrate effectively with the host dwelling and its surroundings, resulting in adverse harm to visual amenity of the area and fundamentally changing the character of The Old Coach House. Accordingly, the proposed front extension would be contrary to Policies SWDP6, SWDP21 and SWDP24 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, the South Worcestershire Design Guide SPD, and paragraphs 131, 135 and Section 16 of the National Planning Policy 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 the advice available nor was pre-application advice sought prior to its submission. As a result the Council has been unable to seek solutions to problems arising from this application as the amendments required to make the application acceptable are substantial and are considered to materially change the development proposals. They would require further consultation to be undertaken prior to determination which could not take place within the statutory determination period specified by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government. 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. |
