)Reasons for granting:
The application site is located on the western side of Cambridge Road, Dunton. It is occupied by a two storey detached dwelling constructed of facing brick, tiled roof and white upvc windows. Its side elevation is sited on the road frontage with its front elevation facing a shared private access which leads to Nos 2 and 3 Old Bakery Yard at the rear which are of the same design. It lies within an established residential area, which is mixed in age and style.
A modest single storey extension is proposed to the front of the dwelling, sited to the side of the existing two storey front projection. Whilst it will be visible in the streetscene when looking back towards the site from the north, due to the orientation of the property it will be set well back from the road frontage and will be subservient to the main dwelling. A single storey rear extension is also proposed which will be largely screened from the road by an existing boundary wall. Its roof will be partially visible and is designed at an angle, however, given its siting and modest scale it is considered that this will be visually acceptable in this context. As such it is considered that the proposal will not be unduly harmful to the character and appearance of the area. Matching materials are proposed and can be conditioned.
The proposed front extension will be adequately offset from adjoining properties and will not result in any undue loss of light, privacy or overbearing impact. In terms of the proposed rear extension, the property most likely to be affected is No 7a Cambridge Road which lies to the south. The extension will be sufficiently offset from the shared boundary and given the distances and relationships involved it will not result in any undue loss of residential amenity for that adjoining occupier in terms of light, privacy or overbearing impact. No other surrounding properties would be adversely affected.
The existing is a four bed property. Although not sought as part of the proposal, the plans indicate that the garage will be converted as a pool room. Two parking spaces would be retained and no additional bedrooms are proposed, and it appears that the garage conversion could be undertaken as permitted development.
Neighbouring properties have been consulted on the application and no comments have been received. The Right of Way Officer and Archaeology Officer have no objection to the proposal. Dunton Parish Council has not commented on the proposal.
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:
