Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/20/00480/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The size, scale, form and siting of the proposed dwelling would result in a dominant and conspicuous form of development, out of keeping with and harmful to the character and appearance of the street scene and wider setting. Due to the cramped nature of the development and the size constraints of the site, not all the bedrooms comply to the National Minimum Space Standards and the development would therefore not be considered to provide a suitable standard of living for future occupants. The proposed development is not therefore a high standard of design and therefore is considered as contrary to policy DM3 of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies (2009), Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2019) and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide (2014).
2) The siting and scale of the proposed development in relation to no. 9 Hinksley Road and no. 12 Catherine Road results in a harmful overbearing impact, loss of outlook, light and overshadowing impact to the living conditions of these neighbouring properties. The proposed development is not therefore a high standard of design and layout which respects the living conditions of existing properties and is therefore contrary to policy DM3 of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies (2009), Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2019) and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide (2014).
