)Reason for Granting
The application site is a detached dwelling known as no.1 The Chilterns. The site benefits from a single garage that is linked to the neighbouring garage, no.2 The Chilterns. The property is finished in yellow and red brick with a tiled roof. This proposal seeks to replace the existing conservatory with a brick-built, single-storey extension to match the existing dwelling. The proposal would have four roof lights, a window, and French doors on the rear elevation. Alongside internal modifications this proposal seeks to convert the existing garage space into a bedroom with ensuite, that would benefit from direct access into the rear garden amenity area and an additional window on the rear elevation.
The proposed extension would be sited in the same position as the existing conservatory, forming an 'L' shape from the rear elevation of the dwelling. The proposal measures 6.95 metres at its widest point across entire rear elevation of the dwelling. At its deepest point the extension would measure 5.1 metres. The height of the proposal measures 2.3 metres to the eaves and 3.4 metres to the highest part of the pitch roof.
The rear extension would not be readily visible from the street scene and would therefore not have a material impact on the character or appearance of the local area. The modification to the garage is readily visible, however is in keeping with the wider street scene. Other properties, including no.2 The Chilterns, benefit from a similar style of garage conversion and the replacement of garage doors for a window is reasonable. The proposed materials would be of a similar appearance to those used in the construction of the original dwelling.
In terms of neighbouring impact and amenity, the footprint of the proposal is sited in the same position and is the same size as the existing conservatory and is separated from the neighbouring dwelling by some 3.6 metres. As such there is not deemed to be an increased risk of impacting on neighbouring amenity. Considering the above, and given the size and scale of the proposal, it is not considered that this proposal would give rise to any loss of light, harmful overlooking, loss of privacy, or be an overbearing impact for neighbouring occupiers.
Leighton-Linslade Town Council were consulted on this application and have raised no objection. The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received.
The proposal, as a whole, is therefore considered to be in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Central Bedfordshire Design Guide 2023, and Section 12 of the NPPF.Reason 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.
