Why it was refused

  1. The submitted drainage details are not satisfactory as they do not include details of any physical soil survey to confirm whether any form of infiltration is achievable. Therefore the proposed drainage strategy is contrary to Policy SWDPR 39 which requires the applicant to provide further above ground sustainable drainage measures to reduce the reliance on underground surface water storage solutions. Accordingly this application fails to demonstrate adequate sustainable drainage measures contrary to SWDPR 39 of the adopted South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (March 2026).
  2. By virtue of the position, scale, massing, quantum, and generic character of the proposed development and its proximity to the grade II heritage asset known as The Forge, the proposal would fail to reflect the local rural village location and its surrounding landscape character and would harmfully detract from the setting of, and dominate the listed building. The proposal would result in a high degree of less than substantial harm to the significance of The Forge and erode the character of the area. This identified harm is not considered to be outweighed by any benefits of the scheme. This proposal is therefore contrary to NPPF Chapter 12 Achieving Well-Designed Places and NPPF Chapter 16 Conserving and Enhancing the Historic Environment, as well as Local Plan Policy SWDPR 09 Historic Environment, SWDPR 28 Design, SWDPR 34 Landscape Character and The Wychavon Design Code. Furthermore the application is not supported by an accompanying bespoke Statement of Heritage Significance informed by evidence including records from the Historic Environment Record. Therefore this proposal is contrary to Part B of SWDPR 33 Management of the Historic Environment paragraph 207 of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
