Why it was refused
- The proposed development, by virtue of its incongruous and significant height and large scale, combined with its location to the edge of Vale Park, adjacent to open countryside and within the setting of the Cotswold National Landscape, would represent a harmful and visually intrusive addition to the local and wider landscape, resulting in long-term adverse visual effects with the building being permanently visible above tree canopies and mitigation planting. The development would therefore be harmfully out of scale with its setting, appearing as an artificial and obvious addition which would be wholly inappropriate to the character and setting of the site. The proposal would thus fail to integrate effectively with its surroundings, contrary to Policies SWDPR 28, SWDPR 34 and SWDPR 31 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review, paragraphs 135 and 187 of the National Planning Policy Framework and Policy CE1 of the Cotswold National Landscape Management Plan.
- In the absence of sufficient information, the development would result in an adverse impact upon existing trees within the Porters Plantation to the south of the application site, a designated Tree Preservation Order woodland, ref, TPO/W/37/84/002/TPO. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy SWDPR 28, of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
- In the absence of sufficient information on external lighting, it has not demonstrated that the proposal would contribute to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity and safeguard the visual amenity of the area, given the site’s location, adjacent to open countryside. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies SWDPR 28, SWDPR 29 and SWDPR 34 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
