)Reasons for Granting
The site comprises a two-storey semi-detached dwelling at 6 The Crescent Stanford, constructed of painted roughcast render with concrete roof tiles and white uPVC window. The property forms part of a linear residential development of similar age and character.
The proposal comprises a single-storey front extension measuring some 3m in depth incorporating a mono-pitch roof. The lower section would be constructed in brick, with matching render and roof tiles. The extension would be subservient to the main dwelling and set well back from the road. The existing side chimney stack would be removed, and a new side entrance door with canopy installed, which is considered visually acceptable. Overall the proposal would not adversely affect the appearance of the dwelling or the streetscene. A materials condition can be attached.
The front extension would be well separated from adjacent properties, namely No 5 The Crescent to the north, which forms the attached dwelling, and No 7 The Crescent to the south. As such, it would not result in any undue loss of light, privacy or overbearing impact. The removal of the chimney stack and insertion of a side door and canopy would be offset from the boundary with No 7. Overall, by virtue of its scale, siting and design, the proposal would not result in any detrimental impact on neighbouring properties.
The proposed canopy would prevent vehicle access to the side of the dwelling; however, the existing side hardstanding is already gated, and a rear lawn separates the garage outbuilding from the main house. Planning history indicates the property comprises five bedrooms, for which four off-street parking spaces would be required to meet adopted parking standards. Although the extension would slightly reduce the area to the front, four parking spaces would remain, although there is no independent use this is the existing situation. 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. Southill Parish Council were consulted and have not commented on the proposal.
In light of the foregoing appraisal, 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
