| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The proposed dwelling, by reason of its scale, roof form and overall design, would fail to respond positively to the visual character and appearance of the surrounding area and would result in the overdevelopment of a small and constrained residual garden plot, leading to a cramped and inefficient layout, compromised relationships with surrounding development, and the provision of a limited and functionally inadequate private amenity space. The proposal would therefore cause harm to the character and appearance of the area, contrary to PolicySWDP 21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, the Design Guide SPD and the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| By reason of its scale, siting and close proximity to shared boundaries, the proposed dwelling would result in unacceptable harm to the outlook, daylight and privacy of neighbouring occupiers, particularly at No. 175A and No. 173 Ombersley Road. The development would create an increased sense of enclosure, direct overlooking at close quarters, and substandard separation distances that could not be adequately mitigated. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy SWDP 21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, the Design Guide SPD and the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| nsufficient ecological information has been submitted to demonstrate that the development would avoid harm to biodiversity, including potential impacts on mature trees and vegetation that may support protected species. In the absence of adequate survey information, the proposal fails to demonstrate compliance with Policy SWDP 22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and paragraph 180 of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
