)Reason for Granting
The application site known as 3 Osborne Road seeks planning permission for a single-storey front extension. The extension would have a depth of 1.5 metres, a width of 2.9 metres, an eaves height of 2.4 metres and would measure 3.3 metres at its highest point. The current flat roof would be maintained and extended to accommodate the extension.
The proposed single storey front extension would be highly visible within the street scene, however due to its design and siting it would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
The proposal is considered to be a subservient addition to the host dwelling which is in keeping with the character and appearance of the area. Other dwellings within Osborne Road have benefitted from single storey front extensions. Therefore, the proposal would not be out of character and would not affect the street scene.
The proposal, due to its scale, design, and siting (in terms of proximity to boundary and/or relationship with neighbouring dwellings), does not result in an unacceptable loss of light and overbearing impact on neighbouring dwellings.
On the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate parking has been retained. The proposal does not create any additional bedrooms and as such will not be required to demonstrate further onsite parking.
Dunstable town council were consulted on the application and have raised no objection. The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received.
The property, as a whole, is therefore considered to be in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Policies T2 and T3 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.
