Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/17/01765/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The proposed replacement dwelling is significantly and materially larger than the existing property by reason of its overall width, depth and height and would result in an imposing feature in this prominent location on the corner of Silverbirches Lane with Heath Lane in the conservation area. The replacement dwelling would have an adverse impact on the openness of the site and does not make a positive contribution to the character of the conservation area and is not acceptable in conservation terms. No Very Special Circumstances have been put forward which would outweigh the harm by reason of inappropriateness or any other harm caused to the visual amenity of the conservation area and openness of the Green Belt and therefore the proposal would be contrary to principles of the National Planning Policy Framework (2012), Policies CS15 and DM13 of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies - North 2009 and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide (March 2014).
