Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/13/03255/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The application site is too restricted in size for the proposed development which would appear cramped in relation to adjoining buildings and out of character with the surrounding area. The proposed development would also result in the removal of a highway tree and its removal would result in an adverse impact on the wider streetscene. The proposal is therefore contrary to the principles of good design set out in the Policies BE8 & H2 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review, Policy 43 of the emerging Development Strategy for Central Bedfordshire, the National Planning Policy Framework and the Central Bedfordshire: A Guide for Development, Design Supplement 1, New Residential Developments.
2) The proposed development would, because of its size and layout result in additional overlooking and loss of privacy and loss of outlook to the occupiers of the adjoining property occupiers. The proposed development would therefore be detrimental to the amenity of the adjoining property occupiers in particular those at number 53 and 55 Jeans Way. The proposal is therefore contrary to the principles of good design set out in Policy BE8 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review, Policy 43 of the emerging Development Strategy for Central Bedfordshire, the National Planning Policy Framework and the Central Bedfordshire: A Guide for Development, Design Supplement 1, New Residential Developments.
3) The applicant has not included adequate provision of space within the site for parking of vehicles clear of the highway. The development if permitted would therefore be likely to lead to additional on-street parking to the detriment of public and highway safety. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy T10 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review, Policies 27 & 43 of the emerging Development Strategy for Central Bedfordshire and Design in Central Bedfordshire: A Guide for Development, Design Supplement 7, Movement, Streets and Places .
4) The application is not accompanied by an acceptable completed legal agreement securing contributions towards existing local infrastructure. By reason of the omission of sufficient contributions for education, leisure and recreational open space and sustainable transport the proposal is contrary to the Central Bedfordshire Council's Adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance: Planning Obligations Strategy: South (2009) and policy 19 of the emerging Development Strategy for Central Bedfordshire.
