| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The proposed 7 bedroom HMO constitutes an overdevelopment of the site which results in lack of provision of outdoor amenity space and a poor quality of residential accommodation for future occupiers, contrary to policy SWDP 21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016) and the adopted Housing in Multiple Occupation SPD. |
| The proposed excavation of the front garden to provide a courtyard is unacceptable in design terms and would adversely impact the character of the street scene and host property, contrary to policy SWDP 21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016). |
| The proposed basement bedroom would have poor outlook and in the absence of an internal daylight and sunlight report, it has not been demonstrated that the basement bedroom would receive adequate daylight and sunlight. This would result in a poor standard of residential accommodation for future occupiers, contrary to policy SWDP 21 of the South Worestershire Development Plan (2016). |
