Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - SB/07/00324
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The site lies within the South Bedfordshire Green Belt and the proposed extension(s) 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.
2) The proposed two-storey side extension would, because of its size and positioning be unduly overbearing and result in an unacceptable loss of light to and overshadowing of the adjacent property, number 1 Tipple Hill Road, detrimental to the residential amenity of the occupiers of that property. 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 H8 and BE8 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review.
3) The proposed side extension, by reason of its size and bulk, would constitute an unacceptably assertive development in the street scene and have an unbalanced visual appearance, which would be out of character with the locality. The proposal would detract from the character of the area, 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.
