)Reasons for Granted
The application site is a detached dwelling known as 7 Centenary Place, that benefits from a detached garage. The proposal seeks to build a single-storey rear extension linking to the garage, which would be converted into a habitable room. Additionally, the proposal includes a front porch canopy.
The proposed extension measures 3.5 metres from the rear of the dwellinghouse and 3.1 metres wide. The room will be finished with a pitch roof with four roof lights. The proposal measures 3.5 metres to the highest part of the roof.
The front porch canopy is the only aspect of this proposal that would be readily visible within the street scene. The canopy will extend forward from the front elevation by 1 metre and is deemed to be a reasonable addition. The remainder of the proposal, the rear extension and garage conversion, are not readily visible within the street scene. As a whole, the proposal would not have a material impact on the character and appearance of the local area. The materials used for the proposed pitched roof and brick work would match the existing dwelling. The materials used for the proposed fenestration alterations would complement the existing dwelling.
In terms of neighbouring amenity, the proposal is sufficiently separated from the neighbouring dwellings and given the design and scale of the proposal, it is not considered that it would give rise to any loss of light, harmful overlooking, loss of privacy or be an overbearing impact for the neighbouring occupiers.
The parish 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, Central Bedfordshire Design Guide 2023, and section 12 of the NPPF.Reasons for Granted

)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.
