POLICY SUR12 EXTENSIONS TO CURTILAGES Proposals for the extension of residential curtilages will only be permitted where: a) there are no unacceptable effects either individually or cumulatively on the character or appearance of the locality or wider area; and b) there are no unacceptable effects on the amenity of adjoining occupiers.; and b) proposals comply with Policy GD2 (General Development Control). 5.3.51.Proposals for extensions to residential curtilages can arise if adjacent land, which is not in residential use, becomes available. The change of use of land to residential can, however, result in the erosion of the quality of the landscape. In the open countryside this can have significant effects on the appearance and character of the landscape particularly when domestic paraphernalia, landscaping and fencing are added. In settlements, extensions to curtilage can also adversely affect the traditional and historic layout and character of villages. 5.3.52 Where permission is granted, conditions will be imposed where appropriate which require the implementation of a suitable landscaping scheme/boundary treatment, and permitted development rights may be removed. POLICY SUR13 NEW ACCESSES AND ALTERATIONS TO EXISTING ACCESSES Proposals for the creation of a new access or for the alteration of existing accesses will be permitted where: a)the character and appearance of the site/locality is not unacceptably affected; and b)the scheme does not prejudice the safety of users of the adjoining highway. 5.3.7. Not all new accesses or alterations to accesses serving a dwelling require planning permission. Where they do, it is important that new schemes do not detract from the character or appearance of the site or the wider area. Generally the impact of a proposal will be reduced if works are undertaken within the existing residential curtilage. It is also important that highway and pedestrian safety and the safety of other highway users are not prejudiced. Wychavon District Local Plan Revised Deposit (July 2003) Page 140 201
6.1. Introduction Section 6 - Economic Opportunity 6.1.1. The Policies in this section of the Plan seek to enhance economic prosperity and opportunity within the District in a way which does not undermine the quality of the District environment. 6.1.2. As a predominantly rural area traditional agricultural and horticultural activity and related businesses have long been a significant element of the local economy. The south of the District around the Vale of Evesham is renowned for its fruit and vegetable production, packaging and distribution activities. Light industrial and manufacturing activity also contributes to the local economy and is concentrated mainly in the north. The service sector, tourism, distribution and wider haulage activity are also elements of the local economy. 6.1.3. The quality of the District’s environment, its location and accessibility - particularly in relation to the motorway network, coupled with historically, a good supply of employment land has meant that the District has been successful in attracting inward investment covering most sectors including the introduction of limited hi-tech activity. 6.1.4. Whilst the economic base across the District is relatively broad and employment levels low, the local economy is not without its weaknesses. The dominance of manufacturing, service and food based activity mean that the District has, essentially, a low wage economy in which average earnings are only 81% of the national average. Additionally, many of the more traditional sectors of the economy have undergone restructuring to enhance competitiveness and this has led to the localised loss of employment opportunities. Agriculture itself is an industry which has faced significant structural changes and which has declined and continued to decline as a major employer with significant impacts upon the rural economy. 6.1.5. The Policies in this Plan aim to safeguard and improve employment opportunities. They build on and assist those sectors which have historically contributed to the economy of the District. Additionally, the Policies aim to assist the diversification of the District’s economic base, by maximising the advantages of the area and facilitating the development of wider economic activity, in particular, hi-tech and office sectors, and providing new economic uses in the countryside. 6.1.6. The Plan also recognises that town centre and settlement vitality and viability are important to the local economy and Policies aim to regenerate and enhance these areas.
