Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/22/01345/OUT
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The proposed development is unacceptable in principle as it represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt, which is by definition harmful and would cause harm to its openness due to its scale and position. The proposal would represent encroachment into the countryside, in conflict with one of the five purposes of the Green Belt. No material considerations have been identified that clearly outweigh the harm caused to the Green Belt and any other harm. Consequently 'very special circumstances' do not exist, and the development is contrary to the aims and objectives of Section 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework and Policy SP4 Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
2) The proposed development, by nature of its location within the open countryside, would have a detrimental impact on the visual appearance and rural character of the locality due to a contrived form of development at odds with the grain of existing development, contrary to Policy SP7 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021). The proposed development would be within an unsustainable location.
3) The application contains insufficient information to show that the development can provide a sufficient turning area within the application site that would not cause increased danger and inconvenience to users of the highway; as such the proposal is contrary to T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021).
