Condition Details / Information Notes |
The residential development of this site would, by reason of its location, scale and prominence constitute an incongruous and visually intrusive feature when viewed from a number of publicly accessible locations, and have an unacceptably urbanising and consequently adverse impact upon the character and appearance of the area, resulting in demonstrable harm to the open and undeveloped character and appearance of the land, rather than integrating as discrete infill or 'rounding off' of the existing village. Furthermore, the proposal would overwhelm the Grade II listed Longstone Cottage by surrounding it with built development which would encroach upon and adversely impact its setting. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policy SWDP21, SWDP25, SWDP6, SWDP24, SWDP2 and SWDP5 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, and policy MKD1, MKD3, MKD4 and MKD6 of the Martley, Knightwick, and Doddenham Neighbourhood Plan, and guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework that amongst others aim to safeguard the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside and improve the character and quality of an area. |
In addition to the other harms identified, the proposed development would result in the loss of Grade 1 Agricultural Land that has been used for arable production, remains suitable for that purpose, and that is considered worthy of protection. The development is therefore contrary to Policy SWDP 13 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and Paragraph 180 of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
In its present form, the proposal fails to demonstrate that a safe access to the site could be achieved. As such the proposal is contrary to policies SWDP 4 and 21 |
In its present form, the proposal fails to demonstrate that the development would cause or compound local flood issues. As such the proposal is contrary to policy SWDP 28 and 29. |
No mechanism (section 106 agreement) has been entered into to secure a legal obligation to provide for a policy compliant scheme for the provision of Highways, Education, Community Infrastructure, and Health contributions, and to secure the provision of affordable housing and the management and maintenance of the public open space. Accordingly, the proposed development is contrary to Policies SWDP 7, 15, 3, 39 and 62 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework, as well as the guidance contained within the South Worcestershire Developer Contributions SPD (July 2018). |
Positive and Proactive Statement. In dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following ways: providing opportunities for pre-application advice; considering the imposition of conditions and or the completion of a s.106 legal agreement. In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application. This is in accordance with paragraph 38 of the NPPF. Despite these efforts, the Council considers that planning permission should be refused for the reasons set out above. |
