Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - SB/05/00554
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review seeks to ensure the retention of adequate separation between buildings which, in the case of a two storey extension and the property boundary, should be a minimum of 1 metre. The proposal does not show this degree of separation, would result in cramped development which would detract from the character of the area, and is therefore contrary to Policy H8 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review.
2) The proposed development would, because of its size, bulk, and siting appear unduly obtrusive and overbearing, and be harmful to the visual amenity of the street scene and of nearby residents resulting in an unacceptable loss of light and overshadowing of the adjoining properties. The proposal is therefore contrary to the principles of good design as set out in Policy 10 of the Bedfordshire Structure Plan 2011 and Policies BE8 and H8 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review.
