Informative Notes:
1 )Reasons for Granting: The proposal seeks planning permission for a single storey rear extension. The application site comprises a two-storey, terraced dwellinghouse. The proposed single storey extension would be sited to the rear of the dwelling and would as such not be readily visible to the public realm from The Avenue. The proposal would have a depth of 4 metres, a width of 7.1 metres and a flat roof at a height of 3 metres. The proposed extension would be considered a proportionate and appropriate addition to the existing dwelling and would not be considered to result in any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area. The proposed single storey rear extension would be separated from neighbouring dwelling No. 30 The Avenue by approximately 1.2 metres. The proposal would comply with the 45 degree rule of light in relation to the windows sited adjacent to the shared boundary and due to its separation and modest scale and height; would not result in any detrimental loss of light or overbearing impact to this neighbouring dwelling. Moreover, no windows proposed would result in any loss of privacy to No. 30. The proposal would be separated from the shared boundary with neighbouring dwelling No. 26 The Avenue by at least some 0.3 metres. Due to the size and nature of the existing conservatory adjacent to the shared boundary (belonging to this neighbouring dwelling); the proposal would comply with the vertical 45 degree rule of light in relation to No. 30. As such, the proposal would not result in any detrimental loss of light or overbearing impact to this neighbouring dwelling. Moreover, no windows would be sited on the proposed extension facing this neighbouring dwelling that would give rise to any overlooking impact. The proposals would not increase the number of the bedrooms or affect existing parking or access arrangements at the application site and would therefore be considered acceptable on a like-for-like basis. Neighbouring properties have been consulted on this application and no comments were received. Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, the Parking Standards for New Development SPD and Section 12 of the NPPF.Reasons for Granting: The proposal seeks planning permission for a single storey rear extension.

5 )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.
