)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 the site is shown to fall outside of an area shown to be at increased risk of flooding however the Environment Agency's indicative flood maps do show the site is in close proximity to a low risk surface water flow path. The proposed works must avoid altering or impeding existing drainage patterns on the site in such a way that flood risk would be increased to others (i.e. by displacing flood water where this would normally pool, or directing this towards adjacent property). The proposed works should consider the levels at the site and of the threshold and floor levels of the proposed work to determine the likely risk of surface water ingress. Para 059-60 of the NPPG should be considered with regard to resistance and resilience of buildings to flooding: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/flood-risk-and-coastal-change#Flood-resilience-and-flood-resistance. No public surface water sewers are shown in this general area, a foul public sewer is shown. It is likely roof drainage from houses in this area will connect to the foul sewer, this method of disposing of surface water runoff is no longer considered a sustainable approach as during times of rainfall the capacity of foul sewers can be exceeded, resulting in localised flooding in topographical low spots or as a result of blockage. We recommend that as far as is possible roof drainage is directed to soakaway (where conditions allow) to reduce the existing pressure on foul sewers in the area.The applicant is advised that the site is shown to fall outside of an area shown to be at increased risk of flooding however the Environment Agency's indicative flood maps do show the site is in close proximity to a low risk surface water flow path.
