)Reasons for granting:
The application site is located at 21 Woodcock Close, Sandy and contains a two storey detached dwelling of facing brick and tiled roof. The dwelling is located within an established residential area characterised by properties of similar style and age.
As the proposed single storey extension will be located to the rear it will not be clearly visible within the streetscene. Although partial views of the dwelling can be obtained from Sunderland Road to the rear the proposed development being single storey will be screened by existing hard boundary treatment and roadside vegetation. Due to the staggered nature of the rear elevation, with the existing single storey integral garage extension protruding slightly further to the rear of the main two storey elevation, it will be a rear and side extension. It will be designed with a monopitch roof with rooflights, extending across the full width of the dwelling and project out approx 3.04m at its deepest point. The extension will be constructed of matching bricks and tiles. The bi-fold doors and rooflights will be grey aluminium, and external alterations sought are to change the windows from white to grey upvc to match those already changed at the front which is considered visually acceptable. The proposed extension will be single storey and subservient to the main dwelling and as such it is not considered it will result in any harm to the character and appearance of the area. A suitably worded materials condition can be attached.
The two properties most likely to be affected lie on either side of the application site, No 19 Woodcock Close to the south and No 17 Partridge Piece to the north, both two storey detached dwellings which have aleady been extended at single storey to the rear. Given the siting, size and design of the extension in relation to those adjacent properties it is not considered that the proposal will result in an undue loss of light, privacy or overbearing impact. 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. The Highway Officer has no objection to the proposal.
Neighbouring properties have been consulted on the application and no comments have been received. Sandy Town Council 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:
