Informative Notes:
1 )Reasons for granting: The application site is located in a residential area of Sheepfold Hill Flitwick and is a semi-detached two storey dwelling constructed of white painted render and tiled roof which has been previously extended. The proposed outbuilding will not be visible from the streetscene as it would be subservient to the main dwelling and set well back into the site therefore its impact will be minimal. The proposal due to its small scale and siting (in regard to both proximity to boundary and relationship with neighbouring dwellings), would not result in a harmful overbearing impact or material loss of light or privacy. It would replace two existing outbuildings which have already been demolished and the new outbuilding has already been partly implemented (therefore it is not necessary to attach a time limit condition). The outbuilding is single storey designed with a low shallow pitched roof with flue and given its location at the end of the garden slightly offset from all boundaries it will not result in any undue noise, odour, overbearing impact or loss of light to surrounding residential properties. There is existing hard boundary treatment along the shared boundaries and ground floor fenestration on the front elevation faces directly towards the applicant's own property. The proposal, due to its siting and positioning of windows, would not give rise to mutual overlooking concerns. On the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate access and parking has been retained. The proposal is for a proposed outbuilding within the rear garden of the dwelling, an incidental condition can be attached. Neighbouring properties have been consulted on the application and no comments have been received. Flitwick Town Council, the Pollution Team & Tree Officer were consulted and have raised no objection. Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Policies HQ1, CC8, and T3 of the Adopted Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021), the Adopted Central Bedfordshire Design Guide (August 2023), the Parking Standards for New Development SPD (August 2023) and Section 12 of the NPPF (2023).Reasons for granting: The application site is located in a residential area of Sheepfold Hill Flitwick and is a semi-detached two storey dwelling constructed of white painted render and tiled roof which has been previously extended.
