)Reasons for granting:
The application site comprises of a two-storey, end of terrace property in Aspley Guise. 50 Salford Road is finished in grey render with a pitched tiled roof and is surrounded by properties of a varying style, scale and design. The proposal seeks planning permission for the erection of a single storey side extension.
The proposal would protrude forward of the northwest side elevation of the dwellinghouse by approximately 1.42 metres, would have an overall depth of 7.47 metres and an overall width of 5.50 metres. The topography of the site slopes down from the northeast to the southwest; when measured from the rear elevation, the proposal would have a overall height of 3.57 metres. The proposal would be partially visible to the streetscene from the existing driveway but would be sufficiently set back from the public highway. As such, it is not considered that the proposal would appear dominant within the streetscene.
The proposal is considered appropriate in scale and design having regard to siting and location. Taking into account the existing built form that would be replaced by the extension, it is considered that the proposal would be of a single storey design which is proportionate to the original dwelling and harmonises with its existing built form.
The proposal would be constructed of materials to match the existing dwellinghouse. As such, it is not considered that the proposal would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
The application site shares a boundary with No.60 Salford Road to the northwest and No.48 Salford Road to the southeast. The proposal would be sufficiently separated from No.60 Salford Road and as such, this property would not be impacted by way of loss of light, overbearing impact or overshadowing.
The proposal will be sited adjacent to No.48 Salford Road. This neighbour benefits from an existing conservatory which is sited adjacent to the shared boundary line. The roof and sides of the conservatory appear to be obscured. Therefore, the main source of light to the conservatory is from the fenestrations to the rear. The proposal would not protrude forward of the rear elevation of the existing conservatory. By virtue of its siting, scale, height and massing, it is not considered that the proposal would cause unacceptable harm to this neighbouring property by way of loss of light, overbearing impact or overshadowing.
The proposal, due to its siting and positioning of windows (having regard to adequate separation distances contained within the design guidance), would not give rise to any overlooking concerns.
All other neighbouring properties are sufficiently distanced from the proposal and as such, would not be adversely affected.
On the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate parking has been retained. The proposal does not create any additional bedrooms and as such will not be required to demonstrate further onsite parking.
The application was subject to public consultation and one representation was received in support of the proposal.
Aspley Guise Parish Council were consulted on this application but no comments were received. The Tree and Landscape Officer was also consulted on this application but advised no objections.
In conclusion, it is considered that the proposal will be in accordance with Section 12 of the NPPF, Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, the Parking Standards for New Developments SPD and Chapter 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.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.
