Condition Details / Information Notes
The application has failed to demonstrate that the level of accommodation to be provided would be ancillary to the functions of the main dwellinghouse and the proposal would not represent an independent dwelling. The proposal would be tantamount to a separate dwelling unit outside of any defined development boundary and would be contrary to Policy SWDP2c and guidance relating to ancillary accommodation contained within the Design Guide SPD.
In addition, the proposed development would result in the provision of two additional bedrooms which necessitates a need to provide a minimum of three off-street parking spaces which has not been accommodated for within the site area. As such, the proposed development would encourage an increased level of parking requirements which cannot be accommodated on site, resulting in a residual increased level of parking on the street, which fails to accord with policies SWDP 4: Moving Around South Worcestershire, SWDP 21 B ix: Links, Connectivity and Access, and P2 of the Broadwas and Cotheridge Neighbourhood Development Plan.

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
