| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The proposed first floor extension, by reason of its siting, scale, design and materials, would be out of character with the context of the surrounding area and would fail to preserve the character and appearance of the property and conservation area, and the resulting harm is not considered to be outweighed by any public benefits. As such the proposed development is contrary to policies SWDP6, SWDP 21 and SWDP 24 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, the guidance contained within the Design Guide SPD and the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| The proposed first floor extension, by reason of insufficient daylight, sunlight and outlook, would result in a poor quality of accommodation for future occupiers, contrary to policy SWDP 21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, the guidance contained within the Design Guide SPD and the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| It has not been demonstrated that the proposed first floor extension would not result in an unacceptable loss of daylight and sunlight to the windows of neighbouring properties or not be unduly overbearing. As such the submission does not ensure that the existing living conditions of neighbouring properties would not be adversely affected and the scheme is therefore considered to be contrary to the requirements of policy SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, the guidance contained within the Design Guide SPD and the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
