Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/22/01706/LB
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The proposed extension, when considered within the context of the extensive works which have already been added to the building, would result in unacceptable cumulative harm by virtue of the addition of built-form attached to the curtilage listed building, and would lead to an overdevelopment of the site comprising an unsympathetic and dominating structure that fails to represent the informal character of the site and lacks the due subservience. It would represent an incongruous urbanising addition to be at odds with the character of the site and the surrounding. Accordingly, the proposed scheme fails to have special regard to the desirability of preserving the curtilage listed building, and is therefore contrary to Section 16 (2) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. The level of harm caused to the designated heritage asset by the proposal would be less than substantial (NPPF, paragraph 202 applies); however, there are no public benefits to outweigh this level of harm. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to policy HE3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and section 16 of the NPPF.
