)Reasons for Granting:
The proposed dormers and garage conversion would be visible from the street scene of Pulloxhill Road. The proposed dormers would be set off the ridgeline and would appear subservient to the main dwelling. There are examples of flat roof side dormers within the street scene of Pulloxhill Road and as such the proposed dormers would not appear out of character. The proposed garage conversion would use materials that match the existing dwelling and as such would not appear out of character and would relate well to its surroundings.
The proposed dormers would be located either side of the gable roof and would overlook the side facing gables of neighbouring properties San Souci and Tanglewood. The proposed windows would mostly overlook the existing built form of these properties and would only have a limited outlook to front and rear garden areas of these properties and as such it is not considered that the proposed dormers would result in any adverse overlooking to these properties. the proposed dormers, due to their scale and positioning, are not considered to have an adverse loss of light on any neighbouring property nor would they have a significant overbearing impact.
The proposal would not be increasing the number of bedrooms at the property,however the proposal would see a loss of parking space within the existing garage. From undertaking a site visit to the site it is considered that the application site benefits from a minimum of 3 off road parking spaces and as such the application would retain sufficient off street parking.
A comment has been received that the existing guttering overhangs a neighbouring property. The proposal does not contain, or result in any guttering that would overhang any neighbouring property.
It is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Section 12 of the NPPF, Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Parking Standards in new development SPD 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.
