)Reasons for granting:
The application site is located at 13 Mill Lane, Sandy and contains a two storey detached dwelling of facing brick with cladding on the front elevation, profiled concrete roof tiles and white upvc windows. The existing rear conservatory will be demolished. The dwelling is located within an established residential area characterised by a mix of similar style and aged properties within this part of the streetscene.
The proposed development is broadly similar to the extant consent approved in September 2022 under ref: CB/22/03157/Full (the 2022 scheme) but the garage conversion and remodelled front porch has been omitted and the proposed rear extension enlarged. The depth and height of the extension will remain broadly the same, it will be approx 0.1m deeper down the side of the property, it will still extend to the rear and slightly to the side but it will now extend across the full width of the rear elevation and include bi-fold doors. As the proposed extension will be located mainly to the rear it will not be clearly visible within the streetscene. Although the side projection will be seen down the gap with No 15 Mill Lane the extension will be well set back from the road. The proposed extension will be single storey and subservient to the main dwelling and as such will not result in any harm to the character and appearance of the area. Materials are to match the main dwelling and can be conditioned.
As in the previous consent the extension will extend up to the shared boundary with No 15 Mill Road. It will be approx 3.8m deep off the rear wall and project slightly beyond the rear elevation of the single storey extension at that adjacent property. Given the orientation, and the distances and relationships involved it is not considered that the proposal will result in any undue loss of light, privacy or overbearing impact for the occupiers of that property. The proposed extension will now project across the full width of the property and therefore closer to the boundary with No 11 Mill Road which lies to the north. That property has a single storey rear extension closest to the shared boundary not shown on the submitted plans but noted here. The proposed extension would project past the adjacent extension at that neighbouring property, however a slight gap will be retained from the boundary along which runs a solid close boarded fence. Given the distances and relationships involved, it is considered that any impact on this property will be minimal and its rear amenity space will not be materially affected. The proposed extension will be sufficiently offset from all other surrounding residential properties.
The proposal seeks to enlarge the ground floor living accommodation only so there is no requirement for additional parking provision. 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. 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:
