)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.

)Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Authority firmly believes that automatic water suppression systems and in particular, sprinklers provide huge benefits to our communities. The main purpose of fire sprinkler systems, which conform to the relevant standards, is to control and contain fires throughout a building. In so doing, they protect the premises from the effects of fire and contribute to the safe evacuation of persons from the premises. They significantly help to: Reduce death and injury from fire; Reduce the risks to fire-fighters; Protect property and heritage; Reduce the effects of arson; Reduce the environmental impact of fire; Reduce fire costs and the disruption to the community and business; Permit design freedoms and encourage innovative, inclusive and sustainable architecture. Each sprinkler head is designed to work independently, only releasing water if its thermal element is activated by the heat from a fire. The operation of one sprinkler head does not mean that all heads in the system will activate. Once a sprinkler head has operated, it will typically discharge between 40-45 litres of water a minute to control the fire. This represents between 1 and 4% of the amount of water that would be used by the fire and rescue service to control a similar-sized fire, therefore a sprinkler system will reduce water damage and the consequent repair costs. Such benefits are recognised by the insurance industry and premiums are very much reduced for those premises fitted with sprinkler systems. Sprinklers are installed to British Standard 9251:2005 for residential and domestic occupancies and BS EN 12845:2003 for non-residential premises. In the UK, no one has died in a fire where properly maintained fire sprinklers have been installed. Please contact Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service and ask to speak to a Fire Safety Inspecting Officer if you wish to discuss further.Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Authority firmly believes that automatic water suppression systems and in particular, sprinklers provide huge benefits to our communities.
