Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - SB/08/00254
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review seeks to protect open space in the towns and villages of the District except where the development of the site is proposed in the Local Plan or where development of the site is essential for the improvement, enhancement or enlargement of the existing open space. None of these exceptions apply in this case and the proposal would thus result in an unacceptable loss of such open space serving a vital amenity function, detrimental to the character and visual appearance of the area. The proposal is therefore contrary to national advice contained in Planning Policy Statement 1 "Delivering Sustainable Development", Planning Policy Statement 3 "Housing" & Planning Policy Guidance 13 "Transport" and Policies R12 and BE8 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review.
2) If permitted, the proposal would create a precedent whereby it would be difficult for the District Planning Authority to resist similar proposals to the further detriment of the locality.
