Site constraints 5

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin
Nearest: Moorend Farmhouse, Grade II, about 40 m from the postcode pin
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.
Historic England ↗
Also on the record
National infrastructure project about 227 m away: The Grand Union Canal Transfer, at pre-application; Inside the Eaton Bray and Edlesborough built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.

Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons For Granting The property is a detached two-storey dwellinghouse located along the High Street of Eaton Bray. This application seeks permission for the demolition of an existing rear conservatory, and the erection of a single storey rear extension, whih would act a an infill between an existing two storey extension and the edge of the main dwellinghouse. This extension would measure width of 4.7m, a depth of 6m and would be finished n a flat roof measuring 3m. The proposal would also include the introduction of a roof lantern, bringing the highest point of the proposal to 3.24m. and would include the alteration of the existing windows and doors on the site to accommodate the extension. It is noted that a similar scheme was approved on the site under CB/22/01720/FULL alongside a detached garage, however the extension was not implemented on the application site. Similarly, pre-application advice was also sought under CB/26/00459/PAPC within which this scheme was discussed and assessed. The proposal would be located to the rear of the property, and as such would not be a visible addition to the streetscene of the High Street. Therefore, due to the modest sale of the proposal and nature as an infill extension, the proposal is not considered to have a negative impact on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, and the wider streetscene. The proposed extension would be obscured from the adjacent neighbouring properties to the north-western boundary (107 High Street, and 2 and 4 Eaton Park) by an existing two storey extension on the site. Therefore, this proposal would not lead to any detrimental impacts to the amenities of these properties. The proposal would be built closer to the boundary of the other adjacent neighbour (117 High Street), however it is noted that this extension would not bring built form further beyond the existing side wall of the main dwellinghouse. Additionally, the proposal would remain separated from this neighbour by some 4.16m, and would be partially obscured by an existing high boundary fence between the properties. As such, it is not considered that this proposal would lead to any loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact on this neighbouring property. All other neighbours remain sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impact. The application site will not lead to the creation of any further bedrooms on the application site, and would impact the existing parking provision provided on the graveled area to the front of the property and the detached garage. Therefore, adequate parking provision has been retained on the application site, and the proposal would remain in conformity with Policy T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan. An Archaeology Officer was consulted on this application, and raised no objection to the proposal. Eaton Bray Parish Council were consulted on this application, and no comments were received. This application was also subject to a public and neighbour consultation, and no representations were received. Given the siting, design and scale of the proposal it is not considered that this application would lead to any detrimental harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling or surrounding area. Additionally, the proposal would also not lead to any detrimental impacts to the residential amenities of neighbouring properties. As such, the proposal would remain in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and the Eaton Bray Neighbourhood Plan (2015-2035).Reasons For Granting The property is a detached two-storey dwellinghouse located along the High Street of Eaton Bray.

The rate of Council Tax you pay depends on which valuation band your home is placed in. This is determined by the market value of your home as at 1 April 1991. Your property's Council Tax band may change if the property is extended.� The Council Tax band will only change when a relevant transaction takes place. For example, if you sell your property after extending it, the new owner may have to pay a higher band of Council Tax. If however you add an annexe to your property, the Valuation Office Agency may decide that the annexe should be banded separately for Council Tax.� If this happens, you will have to start paying Council Tax for the annexe as soon as it is completed. If the annexe is occupied by a relative of the residents of the main dwelling, it may qualify for a Council Tax discount or exemption.� Contact the Council for advice on 0300 300 8306.
