Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development by reason of its location and context would not involve limited infilling within groups of houses. Furthermore, it would create development which would interrupt the open nature of the space between the buildings located to the west and those located to the east of the application site. A location which is in the designated open countryside. The existing gap provides indepth distant views away from the roadside that plays a vital role in ensuring that overall the local area continues to possess a dispersed settlement pattern. The proposed development would also locate development that would disrupt the inherent pattern of settlement dispersal within this part of the locality given that the site immediately abutting to the west is yet to be developed and likewise with land parcels at its eastern boundary, the proposal would not engage 'limited infilling within groups of houses'. As such, it is considered that the proposed development would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the local area by way of its location and land use, being contrary to policy S5.4 of the National Planning Policy Framework and policies SWDPR 03, SWDPR 28 and SWDPR 34 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (2026).

From the council's decision notice.
