Why it was refused

  1. The application site lies outside the development boundary of Hartlebury as defined under adopted South Worcestershire Development Plan Review Policy SWDPR 03. The site is therefore defined as being ‘open countryside’ where development is strictly controlled subject to other policies in the Plan. The principle for housing development comprising of open market dwellings on this site is not established by any of the other housing policies listed within the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (March 2026). Accordingly, the location and scale of development fails to accord with the provisions of policy SWDPR 03 part D of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026 and conflicts with the development strategy underpinning the adopted Local Plan, which seeks to focus most development on the urban areas where both housing needs and accessibility to lower-cost public services are greatest. The proposal is contrary to Policy SWDPR 03 Parts D and E of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (March 2026) and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework . It is concluded that the location of the site is not suitable for residential development and that the proposal, considered holistically, fails to represent sustainable development.

From the council's decision notice.
