)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 dwelling ground floor will be of concrete block-and-beam construction, to minimise damage in the event of flooding. The slab for the parking area will be concrete, at ground level (24m above sea level).
The dwelling ground floor will be 400mm above current ground level (24m), therefore 24.40m above sea level. This is above the Environment Agency's estimated surface water flood water levels.
Ground floor plasterboards will be installed in horizontal sheets to minimise the amount of plasterboard that may be damaged in the event of flooding
Airbricks will be raised to as high as is practicable
The electricity fuse box and wall sockets will be raised to as high as possible/practicable, to minimise damage in the event of flooding.
Any wood fittings on the ground floor will be robust and/or protected by water-resistant coatings to minimise damage in the event of flooding
Drains/sewers will be fitted with non-return valves to prevent waste water from being forced up bathrooms, kitchens or lavatories.
There will be no bedrooms on the ground floor. In the unlikely event of flooding, residents could take refuge on the first floor but it is likely they would have sufficient warning to evacuate to areas in flood zone 1, about 100m to the east.
We will recommend that residents sign up to the Environment Agency's Flood Warning Scheme.The dwelling ground floor will be of concrete block-and-beam construction, to minimise damage in the event of flooding. The slab for the parking area will be concrete, at ground level (24m above sea level).
