)Reasons for granting
The property is a detached dwelling located on The Stile, Heath and Reach. The proposal consists of a single storey side extension with a width of 2.96m, a depth of 9.7m and height of 2.65m at the eaves and 3.59m at the highest point. The mono pitched roof will have a rooflight embedded into the roofslope.
The proposal will be readily visible from the street scene, but would not extend beyond the existing front of the property and would be set back from the public highway. Given the scale and design, the proposal would be considered proportionate to the property.
The proposal would be located on the boundary with the adjacent neighbour (21,The Stile). The dwelling would follow the extent of the existing side elevation of the dwelling. Given the design and existing relationship, it is not considered that the proposal would result in a detrimental impact on the neighbouring amenity enjoyed by this neighbour. All other properties are sufficiently separated from the application dwelling.
Given the siting of the proposal the existing parking provision would be affected. However, amended parking plans (as seen on DWL-03 Block Plan) have been submitted which show appropriate parking provision can be provided.
Heath and Reach Parish Council were consulted and raised no objection. Highways were consulted and, following revised plans, raised no objection. Additionally, Flood Risk Officers were consulted and requested the addition of the condition in relation to surface water drainage as the site is within an identified area with an increase risk of surface water flooding.
This application was also subject to a public and neighbour consultation in which no representations were recieved.
Given the siting ,design and scale of the proposal it is not considered that it would result in any detrimental impacts on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties and would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore considered to be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide 2023.Reasons for granting

)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.
