Condition Details / Information Notes
The proposed dwelling would be unacceptable in principle by reason of its location and the amount of development proposed. The siting of an additional dwelling within the side garden of 83 Ambleside Drive, on a prominent corner plot with Scafell Close, would close down an existing gap, disrupt the established spatial pattern of development, and alter the prevailing semi-detached character and relationship between buildings, gardens and the street. The proposal would therefore appear cramped and uncharacteristic, resulting in overdevelopment of the site and failing to respond positively to, integrate with, or enhance the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The harm arises from the proposed location and amount of development and is not a matter that could be adequately overcome at technical details consent stage. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy SWDPR 28 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (2026) and Policy DP3 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2026).
