)Reasons for granting:
The application seeks planning permission for a single storey front and rear extension with a wraparound pitched roof on the side elevation and a first floor side extension. The proposed side and front extension would be visible to the streetscene. The proposed front extension and wraparound pitch extension, due to the single storey design and limited scale, would not have a significant impact on the street scene. The proposed first floor side extension has been reduced in scale to appear subservient to the dwelling and would now have a width that is less than half the width of the dwellinghouse and would be sited 1.8 metres away from the boundary. The proposed first floor side extension is considered to comply with the council's Design Guide in relation to side extension, the proposed extension would be set back from the front elevation of the dwelling and would be set down from the main ridgeline and as such would appear subservient to the main dwelling. The proposed rear extension would not be readily visible to the street scene, and is considered to form a subservient addition to the dwelling.
The proposed single storey wraparound and rear extension would be sited immediately adjacent to the boundary of neighbouring property No.2 Glebe Avenue, however would be separated by some 5 metres from the built form of this neighbour. Due to this separation distance and the single storey design of the wraparound, it is not considered to have an adverse impact on the residential amenities of this neighbouring property.
The proposed first floor side extension has been reduced in width and would be sited some 1.8 metres away from the boundary of No.2. The proposal would not include any first floor side windows and due to the separation distance of some 6.8 metres away from the built form of No.2, it is not considered to have an adverse impact on the residential amenities of this neighbouring property.
The proposal, due to its siting and separation distance from neighbouring properties No.4 Glebe Avenue and No.45 Dunstable Road, is not considered to result in a significant loss of light or overbearing impact on the amenity of these properties. The proposal would include a first floor window to the rear of the property that would overlook the rear garden amenity of No.4 Glebe Avenue, however this window would have a similar relationship to the host dwellings' windows and as such would not give rise to any additional adverse overlooking.
The proposal would be increasing the number of bedrooms at the property from 3 to 4, however it is considered that from the Officer site visit that there would be sufficient space for 3 off road parking spaces to the front of the existing property and as such the proposal would meet the parking standards outlined within the council's parking standards.
The application has been subject to public consultation and no representations have been received. The Town Council were consulted on the application and no comments were received.
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.
