| Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/24/00766/FULL |
| Conditions or Reasons: | | 1)
The proposed two storey side extension, by virtue of its scale, massing and bulk, would not be considered a subservient addition to the host dwelling. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to Policies HQ1 and HE3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Policy SNP/HQ-1 of the Silsoe Neighbourhood Plan 2018-2035, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and Section 12 and 16 of the NPPF. |
| 2)
The garage would, because of its design and siting, appear overly prominent and intrusive within the streetscene. It would appear out of keeping with the character of the surrounding area, resulting in harm to the visual amenities of the area. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to Policies HQ1 and HE3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Policy SNP/HQ-1 of the Silsoe Neighbourhood Plan 2018-2035, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and Section 12 and 16 of the NPPF. |
| 3)
The proposed gates and wall, due to their overall height and prominent positioning would be uncharacteristic of the open character of the prevailing vernacular and Silsoe Conservation Area. The lack of set back of the proposed gates would also pose a danger to pedestrians and other highway users. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to Policies HQ1, HE3, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Policy SNP/HQ-1 of the Silsoe Neighbourhood Plan 2018-2035, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and Section 12 and 16 of the NPPF. |
| 4)
Insufficient landscape scheme and maintenance schedule has been provided with this application to evidence the replacement of the two cherry trees and the Maple tree. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policy EE4 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and Section 15 of the NPPF. |
