)Will a new extension affect your Council Tax Charge?
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.

)The applicant is advised of the following:-
Gravel when laid on vehicular areas adjacent to the highway inevitably migrates out onto that highway - mainly onto the footway but some onto the carriageway. This is caused by the action of the wheels of the cars using the gravelled area and in particular leaving the gravelled area.
The gravel on the footway represents a hazard to pedestrians and in particular the elderly who are more likely to slip on the gravel and fall. Gravel that reaches the carriageway is also a hazard to pedestrians as it can be thrown up by the tyres of passing vehicles.
The deposition of gravel on a public highway is an offence under Sections of The Highway Act 1980. See Sections 148(c), Section 149 and Section 150. The applicant is advised to hard pave the first 5 metres to ensure that gravel is not dragged out onto the highway which may result in a prosecution under the Highway Act 1980.The applicant is advised of the following:-
