1 )In accordance with Article 35 (1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015, the reason for any condition above relates to the Policies as referred to in the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review (SBLPR) and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).In accordance with Article 35 (1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015, the reason for any condition above relates to the Policies as referred to in the South Bedfordshire Local Plan Review (SBLPR) and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

3 )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.

4 )The proposed works must not impede surface water from flowing around existing buildings and should not divert existing overland flow routes in a way that would increase risk to or from the site (i.e. to adjacent neighbours).The proposed works must not impede surface water from flowing around existing buildings and should not divert existing overland flow routes in a way that would increase risk to or from the site (i.e. to adjacent neighbours).
5 )Given the flood risk at the site floor levels should be either no lower than existing floor levels or 300 millimetres (mm) above the estimated flood level (whichever is the greater).Given the flood risk at the site floor levels should be either no lower than existing floor levels or 300 millimetres (mm) above the estimated flood level (whichever is the greater).
6 )It is recommended that the design and construction of the proposed extension be as resilient and resistance to surface water flooding as possible. This means a) using materials and design that will prevent water entering the house (i.e. by using materials that have low permeability that water cannot pass through) and/or b) minimising the impact of flooding should it occur (i.e. raised electrical sockets). It is recommend that the proposed works are designed and implemented in accordance with DCLG document 'Improving the Flood Performance of New Buildings: flood resilient construction (2007)', this provides guidance on how to improve the resilience of new properties in low or residual flood risk areas by the use of suitable materials and construction details.It is recommended that the design and construction of the proposed extension be as resilient and resistance to surface water flooding as possible.

7 )Surface water drainage arrangements must be provided for the increase in surface water run off as a result of the proposed works, the adequacy of the design and construction of this should be confirmed by the Building Control Regulation procedures.Surface water drainage arrangements must be provided for the increase in surface water run off as a result of the proposed works, the adequacy of the design and construction of this should be confirmed by the Building Control Regulation procedures.
8 )Guidance states that there should be a minimum unsaturated zone thickness of 1m between the base of an infiltration system and the groundwater table. This unsaturated thickness is necessary to ensure that there is space for a local rise in groundwater that may result from storm water infiltration. Given the estimated groundwater depth at the site a ground investigation (conducted in compliance BRE Digest 365 methodology or similar) should be carried out to determine the actual groundwater depth, feasibility and necessary design of infiltration devices.Guidance states that there should be a minimum unsaturated zone thickness of 1m between the base of an infiltration system and the groundwater table.

9 )Thames Water's utility maps show there is no surface water sewer within or adjacent to the site though a foul sewer is shown under Dunstable Road. Surface water should not be discharged into this foul sewer as this can create pressure on the capacity of the system resulting in an increased local flood risk.Thames Water's utility maps show there is no surface water sewer within or adjacent to the site though a foul sewer is shown under Dunstable Road.
