Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/22/02774/TD
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The proposed 16-metre high monopole and associated cabinets, by reason of its height, form and location, with no screening from trees, landscaping, and lack of immediate street furniture, will appear unduly prominent and visually intrusive to its open, rural and spacious setting. The mast will appear visually dominant and overbearing in the streetscene and to future occupiers of consented residential properties to the south of the application site, and will be materially out of scale with the character of this part of the streetscene. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies HQ1, HQ5 and EE5 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
2) Insufficient information has been submitted concerning the impact of the proposed mast and associated cabinets on the visibility splays relating to consented residential developements to the south and west of the application site. An accurate assessment of the siting of the proposal in relation to highway safety cannot therefore be carried out, contrary to policies HQ1 and T2 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021) and the National Planning Policy Framework.
