    Item No. 8 APPLICATION NUMBER CB/14/02051/FULL LOCATION Land West of 71 Woburn Road, Heath And Reach, Leighton Buzzard, LU7 0AP PROPOSAL Conversion, alteration and extension of barn to form single dwelling. Creation of basement under barn. Erection of secure bin/cycle store. Construction of passing bay PARISH Heath & Reach WARD Heath & Reach WARD COUNCILLORS Cllr Versallion CASE OFFICER Debbie Willcox DATE REGISTERED 05 June 2014 EXPIRY DATE 31 July 2014 APPLICANT AGENT Jeffrey Charles Emmett Planning Consultancy REASON FOR COMMITTEE TO Councillor Versallion called the application in as he DETERMINE disagrees with officer recommendation. RECOMMENDED DECISION Full Application - Recommended for refusal Summary of Recommendation: The proposed development would constitute inappropriate development within the Green Belt and the applicant has failed to demonstrate that 'very special circumstances' exist in this case to overcome the harm by reason of inappropriateness and limited harm to the openness of the Green Belt. The proposal would result in the loss of a Cypress hedge that has value in its role screening and softening the site. The applicant has also failed to submit a signed Unilateral Undertaking and therefore has not demonstrated that the proposed development would make sufficient provision for financial contribution towards community infrastructure. The proposal is therefore contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, policies GB3 and BE8 of the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review, policies 19, 36 and 43 of the emerging Development Strategy, the Central Bedfordshire Planning Obligations Strategy and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide. Site Location: The application site has an area of approximately 0.21 hectares and comprises meadow land, a single storey barn, and the single access track leading to Woburn Road.

  • Including Bellcross Homes and Kensworth Builders Ltd) 25Th August 2017
    CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE LOCAL PLAN CONSULTATION – AUGUST 2017 On behalf of Bellcross Company (including Bellcross Homes and Kensworth Builders Ltd) 25th August 2017 INTRODUCTION 1. The following representations are made by Rapleys on behalf of the Bellcross Company (including subsidiaries, Bellcross Homes and Kensworth Builders Ltd) in respect of their land interests within Central Bedfordshire. 2. The land interests are fourfold – Land off Parkside, Houghton Regis, comprising some 13.8ha being promoted for residential development; Land off Trafalgar Drive, Flitwick, comprising some 7.3ha being promoted for residential development; Land off Dunstable Road, Caddington, comprising some 46ha, part of which is being promoted for residential development; and Land off Chalton Heights, Chalton, comprising some 14ha being promoted for mixed residential/employment/roadside development. 3. All four sites have previously been promoted through the iterations of the Local Plan and call for sites exercises. Rapleys welcomes the opportunity to participate in this consultation exercise and provide the following comments below in respect of the Councils draft Local Plan. 4. The representation commentary focusses in generic terms on the overall strategy being considered by the Council, as this is a major element of this consultation and should be read in that context. It is important to get this right rather than be too centred at this stage on the more general development control policies such as affordable housing, open space provision, etc. We reserve the right to provide further comment on these matters at the appropriate time (i.e., the next consultation). Separate comment is then provided in respect of each of the client sites.
