)Reasons for Granting
The site comprises a two and a half storey detached dwelling at 75 Daffodil Drive, Biggleswade, constructed of facing brickwork, a tiled roof and white uPVC windows. It is situated within a modern residential area characterised by dwellings of a similar age and style.
The proposal seeks permission for the erection of a single-storey rear extension with a rooflight, it would also partly adjoin the side wall of the existing garage. Due to the property's corner plot position, the extension would be partially visible from the public realm. However, its modest scale, subordinate design and use of matching materials would ensure it respects the character and appearance of the main dwelling. Accordingly, the proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to the character or appearance of the dwelling or surrounding area. A materials condition can be attached.
The proposed single-storey rear extension would be sufficiently separated from adjoining properties at Nos. 73 and 77 Daffodil Drive to avoid any significant impact on residential amenity. The proposal also includes a ground floor kitchen window in the west elevation of the main dwelling, facing the driveway and blank side elevation of No 77 which appears could be undertaken under permitted development. Accordingly, no unacceptable impacts on light, privacy, or outlook would arise for those adjoining properties, and 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.
The proposed development is located within the Deserted Medieval Village of Stratton and within an area that has also produced Iron Age, Roman and post-medieval archaeological remains. Archaeological excavation at this site has demonstrated the presence of archaeological remains dating from the Roman period to the post-medieval period (EBD 2512). The Archeaology Team have commented that the archaeological mitigation for this site is complete, therefore should planning permission be granted, there would be no archaeological constraint.
Neighbouring properties have been consulted on the application and no comments have been received. A Ward Councillor has commented and raised no objection to the proposal. Biggleswade Town Council were consulted and have no objection subject to consultation with neighbours and consideration of their comments.
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 Bedford shire Local Plan (2021), Policy BPD3 of the Adopted Biggleswade Neighbourhood Plan, the Adopted Central Bedford shire Design Guide (August 2023), the Parking Standards for New Development SPD (August 2023) and Policy DP3 of the NPPF (2026).Reasons for Granting
