Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/23/03540/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The site lies within the South Bedfordshire Green Belt.The proposed development is unacceptable in principle as it represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt, which is by definition harmful and would result in harm to its openness due to its scale and position. 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 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
2) The proposed development cannot acheive the minimum of 4 off road parking spaces and fails to make adequate provision for off street parking and if permitted would lead to an increase in on street parking, thereby resulting in unacceptable traffic congestion and additional hazards to users of the highway.

The proposal would be contrary to Policy T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021) and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide 2023.
