Reason: Having regard to Policy SWDP1, SWDP2, SWDP6, SWDP21, and SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework the local planning authority are not prepared to allow the introduction of permanent unrestricted residential development on the basis of how the application has been submitted and assessed, having regard to the settlement pattern and character and appearance of the conservation area hereabouts.
