About this property

Detailed Description

The site is 0.129 hectares (0.31 acres) and was previously the garden of 8 Chapel Street, Dunton with access from already established driveway. Chapel Street in Dunton, near Biggleswade, is a quiet residential lane comprising a mix of mid-century and modern homes, set within a traditional Bedfordshire village. The village benefits from a primary school, community facilities, and regular events such as the Dunton Wassail festival, fostering a strong sense of local identity. Recent infrastructure improvements, including school enhancements and infrastructural upgrades, have increased its appeal to families and professionals alike. With proximity to Biggleswade's amenities and train services, and ongoing residential development such as the Harvest Meadows site, Chapel Street presents an attractive blend of countryside charm and modern connectivity.

Planning Permission

CB/23/01779/FULL was granted on 20th May 2024 for 8 Chapel Street, Dunton, Biggleswade. The consent allows for the erection of two detached dwellings and associated works. Full planning permission has been granted, and the position on conditions is as follows:

External materials: To be provided in line with the approved scheme as part of the development.

Highway access and visibility splays: The relevant crossover to the shared access has already been addressed under the 2022 consent; the remaining works will be carried out in conjunction with this development.

Turning area, parking, and refuse/cycle provision: To be delivered on-site in accordance with the approved layout during construction.
Archaeological works: An initial survey has been undertaken. This revealed indications of a Roman ditch layout together with a possible Iron Age pit. No relics of significance were uncovered, other than very small shards of pottery. A further phase of investigation is required by Central Bedfordshire Council to clarify these elements.

Fire safety: A domestic sprinkler/fire suppression system and fire hydrant will be installed as part of the build.
Ecological enhancements: Bird, bat, and bee boxes, along with planting and habitat features, will be implemented as the development progresses.

Tree protection and landscaping: Arboricultural measures and landscaping works will be carried out during construction, with a maintenance regime to follow.

Construction and environmental compliance: Works will be undertaken in accordance with the Council's Codes of Practice once construction commences.

The development will provide two detached residential dwellings with associated access, parking, landscaping, and ecological enhancements. At present, archaeological matters are ongoing, and the remaining conditions will be discharged as part of the construction phase. Once complete, the scheme will deliver a sustainable and well integrated addition to the village of Dunton.
