- Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons for Granting The site comprises a two-storey semi-detached dwelling at 32 Girtford Crescent, Sandy, constructed of facing brickwork, hanging tiles on the front, a tiled roof and white uPVC windows. The area is predominantly dwellings of the same age and style. The proposal seeks permission for the demolition of the existing conservatory, the erection of a single-storey rear extension with rooflights, and the addition of a pitched roof to the existing single-storey side extension. The roofworks to the side of the dwelling would be visible within the street scene; however, its recessed position, modest scale, and design would be visually acceptable. The rear extension would not be visible from the public realm and, despite creating a slightly staggered rear elevation, its mono-pitched roof and matching materials would ensure a subordinate appearance. The submitted plan shows the front entrance door being moved forward of the existing aperture which appears could be undertaken under permitted development and is considered visually acceptable. Given its scale, form, height and design, the proposal would not result in unacceptable harm to the character or appearance of the surrounding area. A materials condition can be attached. The proposed single-storey rear extension would be located adjacent to the shared boundary with No. 33 Girtford Crescent, alongside that property's conservatory, which is obscure-glazed on the side elevation. Given the similar projection of the structures and their relationship, the extension would not result in any unacceptable impact on neighbouring amenity in terms of light, privacy, or overbearing effect. The extension would also be positioned behind the existing single storey side extension, over which a monpitch roof is proposed, sloping away from the shared boundary. It would be slightly set off the boundary with No 31 Girtford Crescent, whose driveway provides additional separation. Accordingly, no unacceptable impacts on light, privacy, or outlook would arise for this adjoining property, 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. Neighbouring properties have been consulted on the application and no comments have been received. Sandy Town Council were consulted and have no objection subject to 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 Chapter 14 of the NPPF (2026).Reasons for Granting The site comprises a two-storey semi-detached dwelling at 32 Girtford Crescent, Sandy, constructed of facing brickwork, hanging tiles on the front, a tiled roof and white uPVC windows.
