)Reasons for Granting
The property is a semi-detached bungalow located on Holme Court Avenue in Biggleswade. The proposal consists of a single storey front extension with a width of 3.68m, a depth of 4m and a pitched roof with a height of 2.7m at the eaves, and 3.8m at the highest point.
The proposal would extend beyond the principal elevation, but will remain set back from the road. It would be visible from the streetscene, however the scale and design would remain proportionate to the property. It is not considered that the proposal would have a material impact on the character and appearance of the property or the surrounding area.
Several properties within the vicinity of the site have additional built form on the principal elevation of their properties. Front extensions are noted on 148 Holme Court Avenue, located on the opposite side of the road, and on 187 Holme Court Road, therefore it is not considered the proposal would appear at odds with the existing grain and pattern of development.
The proposal would be set off the boundary with both adjacent neighbours (185 and 181 Holme Court Avenue), therefore it is not considered the proposal would not have any impact on the residential amenities of the adjacent properties that bound the site. All other neighbours are considered to be sufficiently separated from the proposal from there to be any material impact.
Although the proposal would extend beyond the principal elevation, current adequate parking provision would be maintained. The proposal does not create any additional bedrooms and as such will not be required to demonstrate additional parking.
Biggleswade Town Council were consulted and raised no objection. This application was also subject to a public consultation and no representations were received.
Given the siting, design and scale of the proposal 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 considered to be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and the Biggleswade Neighbourhood Plan.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.
