About 13 Cornwall Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

13 Cornwall Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK40 3DH). It has a recorded floor area of 207 m² (around 2228 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

    Extension: Single storey · Rear of property

    Prior notification for single storey rear extension(s) between 3 and 6 metres depth. This is not a planning application because it relates to development that is permitted by Government Regulation. It will not therefore be reported to the Planning Committee but considered by officers under delegated powers. Only objections from adjoining neighbours can be considered and, if officers confirm that the Development can proceed, it must be completed by 30th May 2019.
