Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - SB/05/00862
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The proposed first floor rear extension, by reason of it's bulk and visual impact, would constitute an unacceptably assertive development, which would appear incongruous and out of character with the dwelling. The proposal would detract from the character and appearance of the dwelling and of the area as a whole, and 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.
2) The site lies within the South Bedfordshire Green Belt and the proposed extension would, taken together with the previous extensions to this property, result in a dwelling extended to a cumulatively disproportionate degree having regard to the level of restraint appropriate within the Green Belt. The proposal therefore represents inappropriate development, harmful to the openness of the Green Belt, and contrary to Policy 24 of the Bedfordshire Structure Plan 2011 and Policies GB1 and H13 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review.
