)
Reasons For Granting,
The property is a detached dwelling located on Poppy Drive in Ampthill. Planning permission was outlined in CB/12/01496/OUT and approved in CB/16/00919/RM which includes a condition removing permitted development rights for garage conversions. The garage conversion subject of this planning application has already been undertaken.
The works are mostly internal, therefore it is not considered that the proposal has a material impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
The existing garage door remains on the south elevation, however additional double french doors have been added on the side elevation. This door is considered to be a sympathetic addition to the original garage. Both the additional door and the conversion itself has been constructed using similar materials to the existing dwellinghouse, therefore it is not considered that the proposal will have a detrimental impact to the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
The pitched roof will be visible from the streetscene, however none of the proposed additions will be visible. No additional windows are proposed, therefore this does not give rise to any overlooking concerns. Therefore the proposal, due to its siting, design and scale (in terms of proximity to the boundary, and the relationship with neighbouring properties), does not result in an unacceptable loss of light, overbearing impact or loss of privacy.
The proposal does not have an impact on the current parking provision of the site, as parking spaces are located on the property and in designated areas on the wider streetscene. Therefore, although the proposal has resulted in a net loss of parking, adequate parking provision has been maintained and there are no highway safety concerns.
Ampthill Parish Council have been consulted and raised no objection. Additionally, the proposal was also subject to a public and neighbour 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 accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and the Ampthill Neighbourhood Plan.

)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.
