House extensions and garage conversion at 4 Milman Close, Bracknell

“This is a full application for two storey side and rear extensions, a single storey front extension, the conversion of the garage and internal alterations.”

“The application site comprises an end of terrace three bedroom dwelling. A dormer loft conversion is in construction to add a fourth bedroom. This would comprise permitted development under Class B of Schedule 2, Part 1 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). There is currently off-street parking for one car to the front of the house plus an attached garage.”

“The site does not fall within a Conservation Area, Character Study Area, or Article 4 Area. It lies within a defined settlement area wherein the principle of development is acceptable. There are no trees that would be affected by this proposal. The tree shown in the Google Streetview © image has been removed.”

“25/00673/PAH Prior approval not required for a 6m rear extension from the original dwelling. 05.12.2025”

“17/00752/FUL - 1 Milman Close, Bracknell Approval for part single storey, part two storey rear extension and two storey side extension. This dwelling is the opposite bookend of the row of houses to no.4 Milman Close. The approved plans are very similar to those proposed for no.4. 04.09.2017”

“The Committee noted: • 5 letters of objections had been received from five separate households. • The representation received from Bracknell Town Council who recommended refusal. • A consultee response from the Council’s Highway Authority recommending refusal. • Amendments to the officer report in relation to wording of paragraph 9.22 and an amended image at paragraph 9.29 in relation to an image including the bin store noted in the Supplementary report.”

“In debate, Members raised concerns about the narrowness of the existing road, witnessed incidents of parking on the pavement, lack of capacity for isitor vehicles, difficulties with waste collection and the cumulative effect of additional cars parking on the highway.”

“The parking provision is inadequate and does not accord with the Council’s Parking Standards SPD. As such the proposal would result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety and is contrary to Bracknell Forest Local Plan policies LP 25 and LP 62, and policies TR4 and TR6(4) of the NPPF 2026.”
