Informative Notes:
1 )Reasons for granting: The proposed bay windows would be located to the front of the dwelling. The surrounding area is characterised by semi-detached and detached dwellings with some properties benefiting from front bay windows. The proposed bay window additions are considered modest in scale, siting and design, and would be deemed a subservient and appropriate alteration to the principal elevation of the dwelling. As such, these aspects of the proposal would not give rise to an adverse visual impact on the character and appearance of the area in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan. The front bay windows are set off the boundary of No.28 Gerard Road and due to their small scale it is not considered that the proposal would lead to significant impact upon the neighbouring amenity enjoyed by this neighbour. All other properties are sufficiently separated from the proposed bay windows. The proposal would not be increasing the number of bedrooms at the property, nor would it affect the existing parking arrangements and as such is not considered to cause a detrimental impact to the highway. It is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Section 12 of the NPPF, Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Parking Standards in new development SPD and Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.Reasons for granting: The proposed bay windows would be located to the front of the dwelling.
