Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - SB/04/00747
Conditions or Reasons:
1) Bideford Green is a residential estate that has been developed on the basis of open plan principles. The open vegetation/shrubbery area between the front boundary wall and the roadside footpath was devised as part of carefully prepared landscaping proposals at the end of the cul-de-sac and performs an important function with respect to softening the appearance of the boundary wall and its impact on public views. By virtue of the height and prominent siting of the fence and storage shed and lack of landscaping, the development appears as an incongruous feature in the street scene, harmful to the visual amenity of the area, the established character of the cul-de-sac and the special character of the wider area. The development is therefore contrary to Policy 10 of the Bedfordshire Structure Plan 2011 and Policy BE8 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review.
2) If permitted, the development would create a precedent whereby it would be difficult for the District Planning Authority to resist similar proposals to the further detriment of the locality.
