)Reasons for Granting:
The proposal seeks planning permission for a part single & part two storey rear extension, following the removal of an existing conservatory, and a single storey side porch extension.
The application site comprises a detached dwellinghouse, constructed of brickwork with render, with a tiled hipped roof, located in Arlesey. The surrounding area is residential in nature, characterised with dwellings of a varied design. The proposed single storey porch extension would be visible to the public realm, due to its siting and proximity to the highway. This aspect of the proposal would form a modest and proportionate addition to the existing dwelling, which would respect its existing character and design. As such, this aspect of the proposal would not result in any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area. The proposed part single, part two storey rear extension would be visible to the public realm, specifically when accessing Chancellors from Glossop Way. This aspect of the proposal has been set back from the principal elevation of the dwelling, and has been set down from the ridgeline. On this basis, including the proposal's modest scale and design, this aspect of the proposal would be considered to form a sympathetic addition to the dwellinghouse and would not have any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
The proposed single storey side porch would be screened from neighbouring dwelling No. 30 Chancellors by the built form of the existing dwelling at the application site. Moreover, the part single, part two storey rear extension would be largely screened from No. 30 by the built form of the existing garage at the application site, and would be separated from the built form of this dwelling by some 5.2 metres (approx.). A first floor window is proposed on the side elevation adjacent to No. 30, however, due to the siting of the adjacent garages and its separation; it would not result in any detrimental overlooking impact. On this basis, the proposals would not result in any detrimental impact on the residential amenity of occupants of No. 30 Chancellors.
The proposed porch, due to its modest scale and separation from neighbouring dwelling No. 32 Chancellors of some 9.7 metres (approx.), would not result in any detrimental impact on occupants of this neighbouring dwelling. The proposed part single, part two storey rear extension would site built form closer to No. 32, separated by approximately some 3.9 metres. This neighbouring dwelling is also sited at a slightly higher ground level, which would be considered to assist in mitigating the impacts of two storey built form in this proposed siting. On the basis of this separation and the change in ground level, it is considered that this aspect of the proposal would not result in any detrimental impact on neighbouring dwelling No. 32, by way of an overbearing impact or loss of light, that would warrant the refusal of this application on this basis. No windows are proposed that would give rise to any loss of privacy to No. 32.
The proposals would not increase the number of bedrooms within the existing dwelling, or adversely affect existing parking or access arrangements at the application site and would as such be acceptable on a like-for-like basis, as regards highways considerations.
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:

)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.
