Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/23/03917/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The proposed development would, taken together with previous extensions to this property, result in a dwelling extended to a cumulatively disproportionate degree having regard to the level of restraint appropriate within the Green Belt. By reason of its size, massing and overall design, the proposed development would be harmful to the openness of the Green Belt and would represent inappropriate development, which is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt and should not be approved except in very special circumstances in contrast to Section 13 of the NPPF, Policy SP4 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and Section 11.32 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.
2) By reason of its overall scale, design, bulk and massing, the proposed garage conversion and first floor side extension would fail to appear subservient and proportionate to the host dwellinghouse to the detriment of its character and appearance. The proposed development would use unsympathetic materials which would fail to pay reference to the design and character of surrounding properties and the local distinctiveness of the area. Therefore, the proposal would be contrary to Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 12 of the NPPF and Chapter 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.
