Informative Notes:
1 )Reasons for granting: The application site is located on the southern side of Fleming Drive and is a detached two storey dwelling constructed of brick, slate roof and white painted timber windows. Due to gap between Nos 25 and 27 the proposed single storey extension will be partially visible from the streetscene, however it will be located to the rear and well set back from the road, and subservient to the main dwelling therefore its impact will be minimal. The proposed rear bi-fold doors and roof lantern rooflight will be white aluminum which is considered visually acceptable in this residential context. The proposed single storey extension, due to its 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 given the relationships involved. It would adjacent to the boundary with No 25 Fleming Drive to the east which is at a slightly lower ground level and separated by its own driveway. Due to its siting and positioning of the rear doors, the rear infill extension would not give rise to mutual overlooking concerns. It would be blank sided and can be conditioned to remain as such. The proposed extension would be sufficiently offset from all other surrounding properties. On the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate access and parking has been retained. Neighbouring properties have been consulted on the application and no comments have been received. Fairfield Parish Council was consulted and have raised no objection. Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Policy 1 of the Fairfield Neighbourhood Plan, Policies HQ1, 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 on the southern side of Fleming Drive and is a detached two storey dwelling constructed of brick, slate roof and white painted timber windows.
