)Reasons for granting:
The application site is located on the eastern side of St Johns Road, Moggerhanger. The two storey detached dwellinghouse has been previously extended. The proposed single storey extension will be located to the rear and will not be visible in the streetscene. It will project approx 4m deep off the two storey rear elevation, which includes projecting off the side and rear of the existing single storey extension. It will be approx 3.3m tall, designed with a flat roof and two flat roof lights. As it will be located to the rear and will be subservient to the main dwelling it is not considered to be unduly harmful to the character and appearance of the area. The proposal includes black composite cladding to the first floor of the rear elevation. There is a mix of materials in the area and it is considered that this would not be out of keeping given the residential context of the site. A materials condition can be attached.
Given the distances and relationships involved there will be no undue loss of light, privacy or overbearing impact for surrounding properties. No 39 St Johns Road to the side (north) has a single storey attached garage closest to the shared boundary with a window to the rear. The proposed extension would project marginally further out beyond the garage, but given the distances and relationship involved it would not result in any undue loss of light, privacy or overbearing impact. No 43 St Johns Road lies to the side (south) and has been previously extended. It looks like the single storey projection closest to the shared boundary has been converted into living accommodation with French doors on the rear (it appears that room is also served by a window on the front elevation). Offset from the boundary it has a single storey rear extension. Although the proposed extension would project out further to the rear of No 43, it will be flush with the existing side elevation and single storey only. Given the orientation, distances and relationships involved it is not considered it would result in any undue loss of light or overbearing impact. Although there is an existing boundary fence running along the shared boundary, given its proximity to the boundary a condition can be attached to ensure the side elevation remains blank sided to protect privacy.
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. The Archeology Officer has no comments to make. Moggerhanger Parish Council have not commented on the application.
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:
