Case Officer: David Addison
Status: Decided
Decision: Refused - Change of Use
This decision is subject to the following conditions:
The proposed screened bin store would be located to the front of the property. It is considered that this prominent location, would have a visually detrimental impact on the character of the existing building and its contribution to the visual character of the street scene. Furthermore, there is insufficient information on the management of clinical waste from the proposed veterinary clinic to be certain that such waste would not pose an amenity issue to members of the public from the proposed bin store sited at the front of the building. As such, the proposed development is considered contrary to saved Policy GD2 of the Wychavon District Local Plan (June 2006).
The use of the existing ground floor premises as a veterinary clinic is considered to have a detrimental impact on the general amenity of adjoining premises and residential properties, by virtue of the noise generation associated with such a use. As such, the proposed development is considered contrary to saved Policy GD2 of the Wychavon District Local Plan (June 2006)
