Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/21/05141/FULL

Conditions or Reasons:

1) The site is outside of any recognised Settlement Envelope and is within the open countryside, with no footpaths or lighting on the connection back to the settlement of Arlesey. The development, due to its scale and siting, would form unsustainable development and would be inappropriate and unacceptable in principle. The development would be divorced from public transport and would be dependent upon car-borne transport. No material planning considerations have been put forward or identified that would overcome this conflict with the objectives of Section 2 of the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021), the Planning policy for traveller Sites (August 2015), Policies SP7 and H7 of the adopted Central Bedfordshire Council Local Plan 2015 - 2035 (July 2021) and Policy ARL4 of the Arlesey Neighbourhood Plan.

2) A Flood Risk Assessment and a drainage strategy have not been submitted in support of the application. As such, there is insufficient information to evidence that the development would not present an unacceptable adverse impact to the existing and proposed properties in terms of flooding. Therefore, the development would be contrary to Section 14 of the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021), the Planning policy for traveller sites (August 2015), and policies CC3, CC4, CC5 and H7 of the adopted Central Bedfordshire Council Local Plan 2015 - 2035 ) July 2021).
