| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The application site by virtue of its remote position sits apart from the main settlement of Callow End. The proposed development would amount to an unwarranted and intrusive encroachment into the Open Countryside particularly when viewed from the Public Right of Way (PW-697) failing to conserve or enhance the wider landscape and would result in demonstrable and significant harm . As a result, it would conflict with Policy SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016) and the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| Positive and Proactive Statement. 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. |
