Construction of 2no. live/work units

Authority: Wychavon District Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: employment-industrial · Other minor developments
Inspector: Brennan P

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed live/work units are permitted under the terms of Part G of SWDP policy SWDP 8
whether the site is an appropriate location for live/work units having regard to the provisions of the development plan read as a whole and access to services
the effect of the proposed development on highway safety with particular regard to safe access and egress

What decided it

The proposal's compliance with Part G of SWDP policy SWDP8 for live/work units, combined with the policy support for such development in the countryside under SWDP2, justified the grant of permission despite the location's limited sustainable travel choices.

Framework references: 116, 57

Plan policies cited: SWDP 8, SWDP 1, SWDP 2, SWDP 4, SWDP 21

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
