Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/23/01187/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The proposed development, by virtue of its design, siting, configuration, appearance, and through the facilitation of the loss of established native hedgerow to accomodate the development, would introduce an urbanising and visually intrusive feature within the rural landscape setting that fails to respect the established character of the immediate surroundings and would be at odds with historic settlement pattern of Heath and Reach. The proposal would thereby be harmful to the character and openness of the site and wider landscape setting. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies HQ1 EE4, and EE5 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2015-2035) and Section 12 of the NPPF.
2) The proposed development has not been supported by accurate and up-to-date ecological information to indicate potential protected species interest within the site and to enable an assessment of the potential impact of the development on such species in accordance with industry guidelines and standards. The proposal thereby fails to demonstrate that the proposed development has been informed and designed to prevent adverse impacts on protected species. The development is thereby contrary to the aims and objections of Policy EE3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2015-2035) and Section 15 of the NPPF.
