)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.

)In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development, it is recommended to report this in writing immediately to the Local Planning Authority. An investigation and risk assessment should then be undertaken by a competent person, in accordance with 'Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, CLR 11'. A written report of the findings should be forwarded for approval to the Local Planning Authority. Following completion of remedial measures a verification report should be prepared that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out. No part of the development should be occupied until all remedial and validation works are approved in writing, to ensure that no future investigation is required under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development, it is recommended to report this in writing immediately to the Local Planning Authority.

)Fire and Rescue
Thank you for your notification of the proposed development described as above. Our comments are as in A. and B. below.
Although this should normally be dealt with at Building Regulations consultation stage, would like to draw the developer's attention to the requirements of Building Regulations 'Approved Document B (Fire Safety) Volume 1 -Dwellinghouses ' or 'Volume 2 Buildings other than dwellinghouses' as appropriate, particularly 'B5 - Access and Facilities for the Fire Service', to ensure compliance is met and specifically as below with respect to dwelling houses:
Vehicle access for a pump appliance to within 45m of all points within a dwelling house;
Turning facilities should be provided in any dead end access route that is more than 20 m long.
B.
We would ask that fire hydrants are installed in number and location at the developer's cost as follows:-
On a residential site we will need one hydrant at least every 180 metres with no property further than 90 metres from the nearest hydrant. The minimum flow should be as described in the National Guidance Document published by UK Water and the Local Government Association. The relevant section is copied below from Appendix 5:-
1. Housing
'Housing developments with units of detached or semi-detached houses of not more than two floors, should have a water supply capable of delivering a minimum of eight litres per second through any single hydrant. Multi-occupied housing developments with units of more than two floors, should have a water supply capable of delivering a minimum of 20 to 35 litres per second through any single hydrant on the development."
In addition to the formal guidance or requirements, I would add thatwhere possible consideration is given to access for the hydrants, so they are positioned on pathways/pedestrian areas, close to but not with in vehicle standing areas where they are likely to be obstructed by parked cars/lorries (e.g. in an area designated for parking or loading as part of the development).Fire and Rescue
