Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/24/01982/VOC
Conditions or Reasons:
1) By virtue of the proposed amendments to the original permission, due to excessive site coverage of buildings and hardstanding, would result in an unacceptable overdevelopment of the site with insufficient landscaping and screening to the detriment of the character and appearance of the area. The proposal would diminish the quality of the approved scheme, resulting in a more contrived and urbanised form of development. As such the proposal is contrary to Policy H1, EE2, EE3 and EE4 of the CBLP (2021), Section 12 and 15 of the NPPF and the Design Guide (2023).
2) The proposed development fails to make adequate provision for off street parking and manoeuvring, and if permitted would lead to an increase in on street parking or ad hoc internal parking which will obstruct neighbours and service /delivery vehicle manoeuvring, thereby resulting in unacceptable traffic congestion and additional hazards to users of the highway and inconvenience to users of the site and the highway, contrary to Policy T2 and T3 of the CBLP (2021), Section 12 of the NPPF, and the Parking Standards SPD (2023).
3) Insufficient information has been provided within the application to demonstrate that the development would be able to deliver a net gain for biodiversity. As such, the proposal is contrary to policy EE2 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021), section 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2023) and Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as inserted by Schedule 14 of the Environment Act 2021).
