)Reasons For Granting,
The host dwelling is a link detached property located on Hillside Close in Shillington. The proposal consists of a garage conversion into a habitable room and store, including a replacement roof which would increase the height by some 0.3m. The proposed garage conversion would be visible from the street scene to the front and rear of the property. There is a mixed grain of development within the street scene and as such the proposed garage conversion would not look out of character and would not harm the character of the area.
The proposed fenestration and door would replace an existing door and fenestration on the front elevation, there would be a replacement garage door and window, which would appear similar to the existing.
The proposed development would be sited adjacent to the boundary with 13 Hillside Close. A representation has been deceived acknowledging the positive aspect of increased living space. Concerns were also raised about the importance of retaining the link-detached nature of the property, making good where the height of the roof is increased, sound-proofing/insulation and maintenance of existing boundaries. The proposal would involve a marginal increase in roof height, it is considered that this marginal increase would not have a material impact on the appearance of the link-detached nature of the properties. Making good and the maintenance of existing boundaries are civil matters which are not considered to be material planning considerations. Sound proofing/insulation would be part of the building control process.
Due to the design, scale and siting of the proposal it is not considered that it would have a material impact on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties.
The proposal would result in the loss of a parking space within the existing garage, however it is considered that there would be adequate parking retained on site.
Shillington Parish Council have been consulted and raised no objection. This application was also subject to public and neighbour consultation, one representation was received providing comments on the proposal. These comments have been considered in the above assessment.
As a whole, it is not considered that the proposal would result in any material 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 in accordance with Section 12 of the NPPF, Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and 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.
