)Reasons for Granting
The application site is located on the west side of Coppice Mead, Stotfold. It comprises a two storey dwellinghouse linked to No 18 Coppice Mead by garages and is constructed of facing brickwork with hanging tiles on the front elevation and a tiled roof. The site lies within an established residential area with open space to the rear. The proposal is for a single storey rear extension with a roof lantern and front external alterations.
The proposed single storey extension will project off the side and rear of the existing extension. The existing extension will be partly increased in depth and altered to a flat roof with a rooflight. It will be modest in scale and appearance and subservient to the main dwelling. The existing front door and ground floor window will altered following internal rearrangements and will be visually in keeping with the dwelling. As such it is considered the proposal will not result in any undue harm to the character and appearance of the area. A materials condition can be attached.
Due to the alignment of the road, Nos 22, 24 and 26 Coppice Mead all bound the application site to the south. The dwellings and their rear gardens are sited at a slight angle to the shared boundary facing northwest. The rear extension together with alterations to the roof will be mainly to the rear of No 24. However it will be single storey only, slightly offset from the boundary, and together with the orientation it is not considered that the proposal will result in any undue loss of light or overbearing impact. A secondary ground floor kitchen/dining room window is proposed on the side (south) elevation facing the shared boundary along which runs a close boarded fence which will provide screening and is not considered unacceptable in this residential context. The alterations to the front door and window appear could be under taken under permitted development and given the relationship involved will not affect adjoining residential amenity No other surrounding properties would be unduly 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. Stotfold Town Council was consulted and has 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
