)Reasons for Granting
The site comprises a two-storey detached dwelling at 90 High Street Wrestlingworth, constructed of brick with front hanging tiles, concrete roof tiles, and white uPVC windows. It is bounded by residential development including No 88, a Grade II listed building, and No 92, which is of similar age and design to No 90.
The proposal is for a new green painted metal oil tank measuring some 1.68m high, 1.8 long and 0.6m wide which would be sited on a slightly larger concrete base and adjacent to an existing fence on the side boundary with No 92. Although the material and finish do not reflect the character of the dwelling and would be forward of the dwelling, the tanks modest size, set back position from the road frontage, and slim profile mean it would not appear dominant in the streetscene, and its screening is not necessary to secure by condition. Overall, the proposal would not result in harm to the character and appearance of the area.
The oil tank would be well offset from No 88 High Street, with soft landscaping along the shared boundary, and would not adversely affect the setting of that adjacent Grade II listed building.
The proposed oil tank would be screened from No 92 by the existing boundary fence. Given the siting and modest scale of the proposed development, no surrounding properties would be unduly affected.
On the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate access and parking has been retained.
The SuDs team have commented that the development would not affect surface water drainage or flood risk and therefore have no comment to make. The Tree Officer, Archaeology Team, and Pollution Team have no objection to the proposal.
Neighbouring properties have been consulted on the application and no comments have been received. Wrestlingworth Parish Council were consulted and have not commented.
In light of the foregoing appraisal, 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
