Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/21/03983/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The proposed development represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt, which is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt. The proposal would be detrimental to the openness and visual amenity of the Green Belt, and an encroachment into the countryside. No factors which could amount to very special circumstances to clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt, and other harm to the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and highway concerns are evident. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy SP4 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and Section 13 (Protecting Green Belt land) of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), July 2021
2) The application site is in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The proposed development by reason of the excessive site coverage by hardstanding, number and siting of containers and the scale of the canopy would have a harmful impact on the rural character of the area and would fail to conserve or enhance the landscape and scenic beauty of the AONB. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy EE7, Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and Section 15 (Conserving and enhancing the natural environment) of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), July 2021.
3) The proposal will create additional vehicles movements along a substandard highway which by virtue of its width and alignment would create a hazard to all road users. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy T2 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
