)Reasons for granting:
The application site is located at 17A Cambridge Road, Sandy and contains a two storey end of terrace dwelling of facing brick, white horizontal cladding, concrete profiled roof tiles and white upvc windows. The surrounding area is residential in nature, being just outside the Town Centre adjacent to the Sandy Conservation Area (where the road itself is included up to the point it meets the corner of No 17A's front garden). The dwelling is one of five forming a row of terraced dwellings, set at a slight elevation within the streetscene, all of a modest scale and design.
The proposed front porch, designed with a monopitch roof and pitched gable over the entrance door, will be modest in depth and width and will be well set back from the road frontage. The existing detached flat roofed garage will be replaced by a single storey flat roofed side and rear extension well offset from the side boundary. As the dwelling is located on a corner plot the proposed extension would be clearly visible in the streetscene. However due to the modest proportions of the single storey extension it is considered that it would not have a detrimental impact upon the character and appearance of the area or the conservation area. Bricks and tiles are proposed to match, with white painted render on the new porch and to replace the cladding at first floor on the front and rear of the main house together with aluminum doors which is not considered out of keeping in the local area. An appropriately worded materials condition can be attached.
Neighbouring dwelling No 17 Cambridge Road would be screened from the proposed single storey side extension by the built form of the existing dwelling. The proposed single-storey front porch would be modest in size and set off the boundary. Whist the single storey rear extension would be the same depth as the existing rear extension (the existing side wall is shown retained), at 2 metres in depth, it is considered that the modest addition would not impact upon the adjacent property. On balance, the proposals would not be deemed to result in any detrimental harm on the residential amenity of occupants of this dwelling, by way of any overbearing impact, loss of light or loss of privacy. All other neighbouring dwellings are sufficiently separated or screened from the proposal and would not be detrimentally impacted.
On the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate parking has been retained. The detached garage will be demolished and replaced with an integral garage with one space on the driveway retained. The proposal does not create any additional bedrooms and as such will not be required to demonstrate further onsite parking.
Neighbouring properties have been consulted on the application and no comments have been received. Sandy Town Council were consulted and have no objection to the proposal.
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 (2024).Reasons for granting:
