|
RESOLVED

that Planning Application No. MB/08/02409/FULL relating to barn at

neighbouring properties and have an unacceptable form. It fails to properly address the opportunity to
improve the appearance of the building
and the way in which it relates to the
character and quality of the conservation area. The proposal thus fails to properly address
policies DPS6 and CHE11 of the Mid Bedfordshire Local Plan First
Review 2005 and the advice PPG 15 planning and historic
environments.
