Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/20/04647/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The proposed development would result in the loss of open space that provides vital amenity in an urban setting. The proposed replacement open space is not considered to be of suitable quality to offset the loss and therefore the proposal is unacceptable as a matter of principle. The proposal conflicts with the requirements of Policy R12 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review (2004) and paragraph 97 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2019).
2) The proposed development would result in the provision of an isolated residential development that is at odds with the pattern of development in the local area. The site, due to its openness makes a positive contribution to the street scene, serving to soften the appearance of the urban area and the resultant loss of open space would have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The open nature of the site would be replaced by substantial built form, which along with the scale of the access road would be detrimental to the character of the area.The proposal would thereby be contrary to Policy BE8 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review (2004) and the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (2019).
3) Insufficient information has been provided with respect to noise pollution. In the absence of this information it is not possible to ascertain whether any noise from commercial uses that would inhibit the use of the site for residential purposes. The proposal is therefore contrary to the aims and objectives of Section 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2019).
