Condition Details / Information Notes
The application proposes the introduction of a retail use at a site which is not located within a town, district, local or neighbourhood centre listed in table 5 of the SWDP. The application is not supported by a sequential test which demonstrates that there are no suitable sites available within surrounding centres. In the absence of a sequential test, which is a requirement of Policy SWDP 10, the application has failed to demonstrate that the development would have no significant adverse impact on the vitality and viability of surrounding town, district, local or neighbourhood centres. In light of this, the proposed development is unacceptable in principle contrary to parts C(i) and C(iii) of Policy SWDP 10 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016), parts C(i) and C(ii) of emerging Policy SWDPR 13 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (2026) and Chapter 7 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
The proposed development would have a detrimental impact on the residential amenity of existing and future occupiers of number 1 Malvern Road by way of reduced levels of privacy in relation to those habitable rooms served by windows located within the dwelling’s rear (southern) elevation, as a result of overlooking from within the proposed parking areas, and by way of noise and disturbance in relation to the internal and external amenity spaces of this dwelling, emanating from arriving and departing vehicles and from activity within the site associated with the proposed use. The proposed development is therefore contrary to part C(ii) of Policy SWDP 10, and Policies SWDP 21 and SWDP 31 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016), Parts A and C of emerging Policy SWDPR 35 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (2026) and paragraphs 135(f) and 198 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
Positive and Proactive Statement. 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 and Supplementary Planning Documents and provided the applicant with the opportunity to engage with the Council's pre application advice service. Despite these efforts, the Council still consider that permission should be refused for the reasons set out within the decision notice.
