Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/24/00750/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The site lies within the South Bedfordshire Green Belt. The erected single storey rear extension would, taken together with the previous extensions, result in a dwelling extended to a cumulatively disproportionate degree having regard to the level of restraint appropriate within the Green Belt. The proposal therefore represents inappropriate development, harmful to the openness of the Green Belt, contrary to Section 13 of the NPPF, Policy SP4 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.
2) The outbuilding represents inappropriate development within the South Bedfordshire Green Belt, which is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt. The proposal, by reason of its excessive size, massing and overall design would be harmful to the openness of the Green Belt. No factors which could amount to very special circumstances to outweigh the harm to the Green Belt have been advanced. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy SP4 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021), Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide (2023) and Policy T1 of Totternhoe Neighbourhood Plan.
