Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - SB/07/00395
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The proposed two-storey extension, by reason of it's prominent siting, bulk and visual impact, would constitute an unacceptably assertive development in the street scene, 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.
2) 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 and would appear cramped and out of character with the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore contrary to the principles of good design set out in Policy 10 of the Bedfordshire Structure Plan 2011 and Policy BE8 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review.
