Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/25/03990/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The proposed siting of a shipping container, would be considered to have a detrimental impact on the visual amenity of the area and would be considered to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area due to excessive size and scale which would not reflect the local character and distinctiveness in terms of the scale, the pattern of the surrounding landscape or the existing settlement form. The materials used would also be considered detrimental to the character and appearance of the area due to the introduction of a large mass of metal sheeting. As such, the proposal results in detrimental harm to the character and appearance of the area and is considered to be in conflict with policies HQ1, EE4 and EE5 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and Sections 12 and 15 of the NPPF and Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.
2) 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).
