)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 that red line plan includes the public highway. There is no dispute over land registry, but as public highway the land has highway rights over it so it should not be included as part of the private use of the development or obstructed by any structure or planting. It is suggested that the applicant contact the highways searches officers to ascertain the extent of the public highway (e-mail: highways02@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk).The applicant is advised that red line plan includes the public highway.

With regards to Great Crested Newts the development site itself has been assessed under district licence mapping as being in an amber impact zone (under district licence mapping), which means an area that has been identified with habitat suitability that is able to support great crested newts, meaning their presence may be likely in the surrounding area. In addition this there are 7 ponds within 500m of the site boundary. There are 7 records of Great Crested Newts within 500m of the development proposal site.
In Central Bedfordshire, there are now two options for licensing (should it be needed) in terms of Great Crested Newts: authorisation under Central Bedfordshire's district licence scheme or site-based mitigation licensing. Both routes are licenced by Natural England
With site based mitigation, often Great Crested Newts would have to be surveyed and then population class assessments be undertaken in order to complete and apply for this route. Site-based mitigation licences from Natural England can be applied for only after permission has been granted, more information for this can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/great-crested-newts-apply-for-a-mitigation-licence
Under a district licence authorisation, the development would be authorised in terms of the relevant legislation of any works that may then cause impacts upon the species and would not need to provide any on-site mitigation (some on site mitigation will be needed on very high impact sites within the areas were risks are most likely). However, you would not need to provide any compensation or monitoring within the development site area. Thus potentially providing an insurance against the potential of great crested newts being impacted through later stages of development works.
The district licence scheme itself is completely voluntary. If you do wish to use it then it needs to be applied for before planning permission has been granted.
