Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - SB/07/01432/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The site lies within the South Bedfordshire Green Belt and the proposed extensions 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 the advice contained within Planning Policy Guidance Note 2: 'Green Belts' and Policy H13 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review.
2) The proposed extension would, by reason of its size, height, scale, bulk and design detract from the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and would therefore have an adverse effect upon the character and appearance of the building and would also have an adverse visual impact on the rural character and appearance of the locality, the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Area of Great Landscape Value. The proposal would thereby be contrary to advice contained within Planning Policy Statement 1: 'Delivering Sustainable Development', Planning Policy Statement 7: 'Sustainable Development in Rural Areas', Policy 7 of the Bedfordshire Structure Plan and Policies NE3, H8 and BE8 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review.
