| Agent Address | PO Box 937 Worcester WR4 4GS |
| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The applicant has failed to provide sufficient information to justify the proposed replacement of the existing windows. No detailed condition survey, repair assessment or appraisal of alternative measures has been submitted to demonstrate that the windows are beyond repair or that replacement is the least harmful means of improving thermal performance. In the absence of this evidence, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the proposal would preserve the character and appearance of the Great Malvern Conservation Area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Policies SWDPR09, and SWDPR33, and the heritage objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| The Local Planning Authority has acted positively and proactively in determining this application by assessing the proposal against planning policy and any other material considerations by identifying matters of concern with the proposal and determining the application within a timely manner, clearly setting out the reason(s) for refusal, allowing the Applicant the opportunity to consider the harm caused and whether or not it can be remedied by a revision to the proposal. The Local Planning Authority is willing to provide pre-application advice in respect of any future application for a revised development. |
