Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/21/05625/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The site lies within the South Bedfordshire Green Belt, where permission will not be granted except in very special circumstances for development for purposes other than the specified purposes listed in paragraphs 149 and 150 of the National Planning Policy Framework. The proposed development is not included within these specified purposes and thus constitutes inappropriate development within the Green Belt. The proposed building, by reason of its height, scale and siting would have a significant detrimental impact on the openness of the Green Belt. No very special circumstances have been established in this case and thus the proposal is in conflict with Section 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy SP4 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.
2) Having regard to the proximity of mature trees close to the proposed building, in the absence of any Arboricultural Survey Report, Arboricultural Method Statement or Tree Protection Plan the application has failed to demonstrate that the development would preserve or enhance the special character of the Biillington Conservation Area and would not cause detrimental harm to the existing attractive and prominent landscaping, which contributes to the semi rural character of the surrounding area. As such the proposal is contrary to the principles of good design as set out within Sections 12, 15 and 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policies HQ1, HE3 and EE4 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.
