)Reasons for granting:
The application site is located on the northern side of Broadmead, Biggleswade. It is occupied by a two storey semi-detached dwelling constructed of a brick plinth with smooth painted render and tiled roof. The site is sited in an established residential area, bounded by residential properties.
The dwelling has been previously extended to the rear. The existing conservatory will be demolished. A single storey flat roofed rear infill extension is proposed to connect the existing two single storey extensions together with associated alterations and lantern roof light. Bi-fold doors are proposed to the rear. Following internal rearrangements an existing door to a utility room on the side (west) will be infilled. A ground floor side kitchen window in the existing two storey side (west) elevation of the main dwelling will be changed to a utility door and window which appears could be undertaken under permitted development. The proposed extension will be subservient to the main dwelling and will not be visible in the streetscene. As such it is considered that the proposal will not be unduly harmful to the character and appearance of the area. A materials condition can be attached.
The proposal, due to its scale, design and siting in terms of proximity to boundary and relationship with neighbouring properties, does not result in an unacceptable loss of light, overbearing impact and loss of privacy. The site is bounded by residential properties, No 5 Broadmead forms the other half of the semi-detached property, Nos 43, 45, 47 and 49 Dells Lane lie to the side (west) with the garden of No 43 extending to the rear of the application site to the north. The infill extension will be well offset from all surrounding properties. Whilst changes are proposed to the existing ground floor fenestration on the side (west) and rear (north) elevations this will not result in an unacceptable loss of privacy given the residential context of the site. No other surrounding properties would be adversely affected.
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. Biggleswade Town Council have no objection subject to consultation with neighbours and consideration of their comments.
Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Policies HQ1, and T3 of the Adopted Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021), Policy BPD3 of the Adopted Biggleswade Neighbourhood Plan (2022), 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:
