)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.

)You are advised to note the comments of the SUDs officer as set out below:
The applicant should ensure that the proposed development will be made safe from the risk off flooding through the use of flood resistant/resilient measures and methods of construction, as they are set out in the document 'Improving the Flood Performance of New Buildings: flood resilient construction (GLG, 2007)'. This is to ensure flood water is kept out of the building as far as possible, and that flood recovery is aided should flooding occur.
The proposed works must not alter, divert or impede existing drainage patterns in such a way that would displace flood water or alter ground levels in such a way that the velocity of flow would be changes, resulting in increased flood risk to others (i.e. to adjacent neighbours).
Surface water drainage arrangements are to be provided for surface water run off as a result of any increase in impermeable area, the adequacy of the design and construction of surface water should be confirmed by the Building Control Regulation procedures. The method of disposing of surface water run off should follow the hierarchy set out in Part H of the Building Regulations (i.e. Soakaways/infiltration systems, or then controlled/attenuated discharge to watercourse, or then to a storm water sewer). We consider this may be addressed through the building regulations process.
The above comments are provided in context of para 163 of the NPPF and its supporting guidance, please be aware NPPF gives equal weighting to the management and mitigation of flood risk from all sources.
*Please be aware that flooding from surface water is difficult to predict as rainfall location and volume are difficult to forecast. In addition, local features can greatly affect the chance and severity of flooding. Because of this, the Environment Agency mapping reports the highest risk within 20m of a specific location, such as an individual property. This means reports for neighbouring properties may show different levels of risk.
