| Informative Notes: | | 1
)Reasons for granting:
The application site is located on the southern side of Drovers Lane and is a two storey detached dwelling constructed of brick and tile. It is proposed to erect a single storey extension which would extend across the whole width of the rear elevation. The proposed extension will be subservient to the main dwelling and located to the rear and as such considered visually acceptable. It is also proposed to change the side door and window to double doors which appear could be undertaken under permitted development and are considered visually in keeping with the residential property.
The proposed extension would be sufficiently offset from No 30 Drovers Lane and will not result in any undue loss of light, privacy or overbearing impact. Whilst it would be sited on the shared western boundary and would project slightly further to the rear of No 26 Drovers Lane, given its single storey scale and modest extension it would not result in any undue loss of light or overbearing impact for the occupiers of at property. A condition can be attached to ensure the western side elevation remains blank to protect neighbour privacy. Given the distances and relationships involved there will be no undue loss of light, privacy or overbearing impact for adjoining properties.
On the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate access and parking has been retained.
Stotfold Town Council and neighbouring properties have been consulted on the application and no comments have been received. The Ecology Officer was consulted and has raised no objection.
Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with 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:
