Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/13/03469/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The development, if permitted, would lead to the intensification of use of an existing access which provides inadequate driver/driver intervisibility and would lead to conditions of danger for all road users. Adequate visibility could only be provided if no additional landscaping were planted and all existing landscaping removed from within the required visibility splay, thus exposing the entire flank of the building in a prominent position closely adjoining the road and which would be detrimental to the rural character and setting of the area and the adjoining Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Area of Great Landscape Value. The proposed development is therefore contrary to national advice contained within the National Planning Policy Framework, policies NE3 & T10 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review, policies 27, 43 & 58 of the emerging Development Strategy for Central Bedfordshire and Design in Central Bedfordshire: A Guide for Development.
2) From the information available regarding the curtilage of the proposed dwelling, the development would result in the change in the character of the land from agricultural or grazing to residential curtilage with associated buildings, structures and paraphernalia which would represent a loss of openness and an encroachment onto the open countryside contrary to one of the purposes of including land within the Green Belt and thereby amounting to inappropriate development. No very special circumstances have been established to permit the development. The proposed development is therefore contrary to national advice contained within the National Planning Policy Framework and Policy 36 of the emerging Development Strategy for Central Bedfordshire.
