)Reasons for granting
The application site is 24 Royce Close, Dunstable. The host dwelling is a detached two storey property and is surrounded by dwellings with a similar design.
The proposed development would include a single storey rear extension.
The proposal would be sited to the rear of the dwellinghouse; however due to the staggered nature of dwellings within Royce Close and variation of ground level, the side flank wall of the development would be partially visible to the street scene. On balance, due to the single storey rear extension modest scale and design it is not considered that the proposal would have a material impact on the character and appearance of the area.
In terms of impact on neighbouring amenity, the proposed development would be sited some 4.2 metres from the shared boundary with neighbouring property No. 23 Royce Close and would also be further separated by some 11.1 meters from the nearest built form of this neighbour. No. 25 Royce Close would be sited some 1.5 metres from the shared side boundary with the application site and would be further separated by some 5.1 metres from the nearest built form of this neighbour. As such, due to the rear extension restricted depth, the single storey nature of the proposal and adequate separation distance it is not considered that the proposed development would have a detrimental impact to the amenities of these neighbours. Neighbouring property No. 26 Royce Close would be sufficiently separated from the development by some 10.8 metres from the shared rear boundary of the application site. Therefore, due to the sufficient separation distance it is not considered that the proposal would have a detrimental impact in regards to the amenity of No. 26.
All other neighbouring dwellings would be sufficiently separated from the proposal and as such there will be no impact to these neighbours.
It is therefore considered that the proposal as a whole would not result in any material impact on the residential amenities of any neighbouring properties and would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area. The proposal is therefore considered to be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received.
The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with, Policy HQ1, T2, T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021) and Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide (2023) 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.
