Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/25/01179/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The proposal represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt, which is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt. The proposal would result in harm to the openness of the Green Belt and conflict with the fundamental aims of the Green Belt which includes safeguarding the countryside from encroachment. No factors which could amount to very special circumstances to outweigh the harm to the Green Belt have been advanced. Therefore, the proposal is contrary to Section 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework and Policy SP4 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
2) The proposed continued use of the land for the storage of materials and equipment would be at odds with the rural and open character of the site and significantly harmful to the visual landscape character of the surrounding area, contrary to Policies HQ1 and EE5 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and Sections 12 and 15 of the NPPF.
