- Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons for Granting The site comprises a two-storey dwelling at 12 Taylors Close Meppershall, constructed of facing brickwork with horizontal front cladding, a tiled roof and white uPVC windows. The property is location within an established residential cul-de-sac of a similar age and character. ��� The proposal comprises a single-storey infill flat roofed extension with a flat roof window, to the side of the dwelling, positioned behind the attached garage. It would be subservient to the main dwelling and set back from the road. A shallow pitched roof is also proposed over the existing double garage. As forward projecting garages, some extended with pitched roofs, are characteristic of the street, this element would not adversely affect the character and appearance of the area. A materials condition can be attached. No 10 Taylors Close lies to the side (northeast) at a slightly lower ground level. The proposed single-storey infill extension would be set approx 1 metre from its two-storey side elevation, which contains an obscure glazed stair landing window, and would therefore not result in an adverse impact on residential amenity. The existing garage is attached to No 10 and projects forward of its the main front elevation, where a ground floor kitchen window is closest to the boundary. Given the shallow pitch of the proposed roof extension, it would not result in any significant loss of light or overbearing impact. The garage would remain blank sided. Overall, by virtue of its scale, siting and design, the proposal would not detrimentally affect neighbouring properties. 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. The Archeology Team have no comment to make. Meppershall 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 Bedford shire Local Plan (2021), the Adopted Central Bedford shire Design Guide (August 2023), the Parking Standards for New Development SPD (August 2023) and Section 12 of the NPPF (2024).Reasons for Granting The site comprises a two-storey dwelling at 12 Taylors Close Meppershall, constructed of facing brickwork with horizontal front cladding, a tiled roof and white uPVC windows.
