| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| By virtue of its design, the proposed replacement shopfront would result in substantial harm to the Foregate Street and the Tything Conservation Area. It would also cause harm to designated heritage assets including Grade II listed buildings through the erosion of their historic setting. The proposal fails to preserve the character of the host building, the character of the Foregate Street and The Tything Conservation Area. This harm identified is not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposals. As such, the proposal fails to accord with the policies SWDP 21, SWDP 6 and 24 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016, Section 66(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and paragraph 197 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2024. |
| For the avoidance of doubt this application for full planning permission was considered against the following submitted plans and associated documents: Location Plan, Existing Floor Plans and Existing Elevations (Drawing No: PLAN MAB 1 Proposed Floor Plans and Elevations (Drawing No: PLAN MAB 2) Heritage Statement produced by Michael A Brown Design. |
