)Reasons for granting:
The application site is located at 40 Clifton Road, Henlow and contains a detached two storey dwelling constructed of facing brickwork and a pitched tiled roof. It has a integral garage which partly projects forward of the main two storey front elevation, linked to a single storey monopitch roof across the frontage over a existing timber framed bay window.
The proposal is for a front bay window replacement constructed of brick and white upvc which will be marginally larger and extend to the ground. As it would be to the front of the property, the replacement window will be visible within the streetscene. The works, however, would be set back from the highway. It is considered that due to the nature, scale and design of the works, no unacceptable impact upon the character and appearance of the area would arise.
The proposal also includes the insertion of a new utility window at ground floor in the side (eastern) elevation. There are already existing openings in that elevation and this is considered visually in keeping.
Due to the minor scale and siting of the proposal it is be considered that there would be no unacceptable impact on neighbouring amenities in terms of of overbearing impact, loss of light or loss of privacy. It appears the insertion of the ground floor side window (annotated as frosted but no details have been provided about its opening) could be undertaken under permitted development and will be screened to some degree from No 38 Clifton Road by existing hard boundary treatment.
Although not included in the description of development it is noted that the side window is required as a result of partly converting the existing garage to create a non-habitable utility room. The proposed ground floor plan is annotated that the front of the garage will remain however it will not be large enough to accommodate a car. The dwelling is served by a shared access with No 42 onto Clifton Road which is classified. A four bedroomed house requires three on site parking spaces to meet adopted standards, although a suitably surfaced area is not shown to be provided it appears that the garage can be converted under permitted development.
Neighbouring properties have been consulted on the application and no comments have been received. Henlow Parish Council were consulted and have no objection.
Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Policies HQ1 of the Adopted Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021), the Adopted Central Bedfordshire Design Guide (August 2023), and Section 12 of the NPPF (2024).Reasons for granting:
