| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The proposed padel courts would generate a level of noise that would be detrimental to the amenity of existing or future occupiers of nearby residential properties. The findings of the received acoustic assessment (Peninsular Acoustics, January 2026) do not demonstrate that the impact of noise would be acceptable within the proposal's proximity to residential properties. As a result, the proposal fails to comply with policies SWDPR 28 and 35 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (2026) as well as paragraph 198 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). |
