Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/16/00339/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 Green Belt both by definition and by reason of loss of openness and no very special circumstances exist that would outweigh the identified harm. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 9 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy H13 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.
2) The proposed extension would, because of its size and unsympathetic design, which would result in the loss of the eaves of the highly characteristic A-frame feature would result in an unbalancing of the pair of semi-detached dwellings and would have a harmful impact on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the wider locality. The proposal is therefore contrary to the principles of good design as set out in Section 7 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policies H8 and BE8 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.
