)Reason for Granting
The application site hosts a detached dwelling known as 10 Park Hill, Toddington. The property is brick built with a flat roof and an attached single garage. The proposal is for an in-fill side and rear extension. Additionally, the proposal seeks to brick up the existing porch to bring it in line with the front elevation of the dwellinghouse.
The length of the extension measures 5 metres and has a depth of some 1.4 metres at the rear and 1.7 metres from the side elevation. The proposed extension would be finished with a flat roof at the height of the existing garage, measuring 2.6 metres. The existing porch is set into the house, the proposal would brick up and enclose the porch with a depth of 1.25 metres and length of 3.3 metres.
The modifications to the front elevation would be readily visible within the street scene. There are examples of similar developments within Park Hill and as such is in keeping with the character and appearance of the area. The development to the rear is not readily visible and the proposal as a whole will be finished with materials that match the existing dwellinghouse.
The proposed rear and side infill extension would extend to the boundary line. However, due to its siting, roof-height, and relationship with the neighbouring dwelling it is not considered to have an overbearing impact, a material loss of light, or a loss of outlook to any of the neighbouring dwellings.
Toddington Parish Council highlighted the additional workspace and office detailed within the floor plan and the potential change of use. This has been considered and incidental use only has been confirmed through email correspondence with the Agent. A condition has been added to this decision to ensure that this use is maintained. Toddington Parish Council raised no objection. The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received.
The Toddington Neighbourhood Plan is in the early stages of production and a formal draft version has not yet been published or consulted on. As such, no weight can be attributed. 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.
