Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/23/01878/PIP
Conditions or Reasons:
1) By virtue of the location, amount of development and land-use proposed, it is considered that the development would adversely impact the character and appearance of the area by part removing an 'Important' established hedgerow located along the south of the site, resulting in a harmful urbanising incursion and harm to the South Bedfordshire Green Belt. Therefore the proposal is unacceptable as a matter of principle and will be harmful to the rural character of the area, the South Bedfordshire Green Belt and would not represent sustainable development, contrary to Policies SP2, SP7, SP4, HQ1 and EE4 of the Central Bedfordshire Adopted Local Plan (2021) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2021).
2) The Council considers that the proposed development would, by reason of its proximity lying within a 12.6kilometre linear distance of the Ashridge Commons and Woods Site of Special Scientific Interest within the Chiltern Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation, add to the recreational disturbance in this area, likely to harm the integrity of the conservation purposes of the Chiltern Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation. The proposal would be contrary to the Habitat Regulations and paragraphs 180 and 181 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021 and Policy EE3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
