Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/26/00323/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The proposal, by reason of its siting, scale, deisgn and unsatisfactory layout would result in the creation of an urban form of development that would erode the site's spacious qualities and would be at odds with the prevailing pattern of development within the local contact. As such, the proposal would not be considered to be of high quality design which reinforces local distinctiveness, nor would it be sensitive to the key characteristics of the surrounding area, and would be considered to be in conflict with Policies HQ1 and EE5 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021) as well as Sections 12 and 15 of the NPPF (2024).
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 Policies EE2 and EE8 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).
3) The development would not provide a safe and suitable access for all users, including pedestrians, as required by paragraph 115(b) of the NPPF, and would result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety, contrary to
paragraph 116 of the NPPF. The proposal therefore conflicts with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
