)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.

240 - £25 +VAT per bin
360 - £35 + VAT per bin
660 - £250 + VAT per bin
1100 - £350 + VAT per bin
A purchase order must be raised for the quantity of bins required and sent to Waste Services upon occupation of the properties, quoting the relevant planning reference number. We will also require a map of the site detailing street names, plot and house numbers. Waste provision is allocated on the basis of 90l per week per waste stream per property. The bin collection crew are not expected to move the bins over any undulating, non-paved, uneven surface, or where the gradient is deemed excessive.Please note that there is a contribution to pay for the supply/delivery of the bins.

)The applicant is advised that attention should be made 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.
If the criteria for fire appliance access to within 45 metres as set out above cannot be reached for residential premises, the Building Control and Fire Authority should be consulted at an early stage, as alternative arrangements may be acceptable. Typically, this is either because the new site is landlocked or because the new access is too narrow to get an appliance close enough.
The following options are available if access is within:
45-<60 metres-Domestic/residential sprinklers required;
60 -90 metres-Domestic/residential sprinklers and a fire hydrant installed immediately by the access driveway;
Over 90 metres-Not acceptable
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 that where possible consideration is given to access for the hydrants, so they are positioned
on pathways/pedestrian areas, close to but not within 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).The applicant is advised that attention should be made 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:
