Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate how the development proposals deliver a well-designed place in respect of the proposed layout and form, scale and massing, character and appearance, access and movement. As such, the application fails to comply with design expectations of National Planning Policy Framework para. 135; the National Design Guide; Stratford on Avon District Core Strategy Policy CS.9.
  2. Part of the application site falls within Flood Zone 2 and Flood Zone 3. No site specific flood information has been submitted. Therefore, the Local Planning Authority are unable to confirm that the dwellings and occupiers would be safe from flood risk. Additionally, the proposal would involve new vulnerable development within Flood Zone 2 and Flood Zone 3. Paragraph 175 of the NPPF requires the sequential test to be undertaken. A sequential test has not been submitted. Furthermore, insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposal would pass the sequential and exceptions test. The development would not accord with Core Strategy policy CS.4 and paragraphs 175, 177 and 178 of the NPPF.
  3. Warwickshire County Council Ecology requested further information to be submitted in the form of further details required to inform the Biodiversity Net Gain Plan and Assessment. The additional information required has not been submitted and Case Officer: Sarah Leach Reference No. 25/02296/FUL therefore the Council is unable to establish that the development would meet the 10% Biodiversity Net Gain required. Therefore, the proposal is contrary to policy CS.6 of the Stratford-on-Avon District Core Strategy (2011-2031) and Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (inserted by the Environment Act 2021).

From the council's decision notice.
