)Reasons for Granting
The application site is at Rose Bottom Stable, Barton Road, Kitchen End, Bedfordshire, MK45 4QT. The dwelling is a detached L-shaped bungalow. The proposal is for a loft conversion with two dormers, one to the front of the property and one to the rear elevation.
Both dormers would measure some 8.6 metres in width, 3.1 metres in depth, 2.3 metres in height and would be set down from the main roof ridge line by 0.1 metres. The dormers would both be set back some 0.4 metres from the eaves.
The front dormer would present to the private garden amenity space of the dwelling house and the rear dormer would present north on to a commercial business area. A sales office is present to the rear of the property at a distance of some 36 metres to the northwest of the proposal site. The proposal site is set back some 100 metres from the Highway and accessed from a long driveway. The proposal would not be readily visible from the highway, Barton Road.
The modest scale and design of the proposal would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the surrounding area.
In terms of impact upon neighbouring amenity, the front elevation dormer would be closest to the property to the southwest, known as 'The Birch, Kitchen End. The proposal would satisfy the 45-degree rule of light assessment and there is also mature landscaping present at the boundary between the two properties. Due to the orientation of 'The Birch', Kitchen End, and the distance of some 27 metres from the proposal site, it is not considered that there would be any unacceptable impacts upon neighbouring amenity for this neighbour.
Due to the orientation of the dwelling, there would be no overlooking concerns for 'Deja Vu', Barton Road (located to the west some 44 metres from the proposal site), due to the distances involved and that the proposal would be screened by existing built form.
All other neighbouring dwellings would be sufficiently separated from the proposal and as such there will be no impact to these neighbours.
It is considered that adequate parking exists at the site which comprises a large private gravelled parking area with six spaces detailed on the plans.
It is therefore considered that the proposal as a whole, would not result in any material impact on the residential amenities of any neighbouring properties and would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area. The proposal is therefore considered to be in conformity with Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide (2023), Section 12 of the NPPF(2023) and Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021).
The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received. For the avoidance of doubt , after confirmation of the additional full address details, as 'Rose Bottom Stable', Barton Road, Kitchen End, Silsoe, Bedford MK45 4QT. A full re-consultation was carried out.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.
