Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - SB/09/00077/TP
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The proposed replacement dwelling would by virtue of its size, bulk and massing be both materially larger than, and more intrusive in the landscape than the existing dwelling to the detriment of the openness of the Green Belt. The proposed scheme is therefore considered to be inappropriate development within the Green Belt and no very special circumstances have been justified in support of the proposal. The proposed scheme is therefore contrary to the advice contained within Planning Policy Guidance Note 2: 'Green Belts' and contrary to the provision of Policy H14 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review.
2) The proposed development would result in an overly intrusive and urbanising feature within the semi-rural street scene and which makes a significant contribution towards the designated Oldhill Wood Area of Special Character. It would result in a more urbanised form of built development within the street scene, harmful to its character and that of the locality. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies BE8 and BE6 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review.
