)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a detached dwelling located on Lime Street in Barton-Le-Clay. The proposal consists of a single storey side extension as well as rendering proposed to the exterior of the host dwelling.
The single storey side extension would measure 6.1m at its widest point, and 3.8m at its narrowest, a depth of 10.2m at its deepest and 6m at its shallowest. Additionally, the roof would be dual pitched facing both the side and rear elevations, with an eaves height of 2.5m and a highest point measuring 4.2m.
The proposal would be visible from the streetscene but would not extend beyond the principal elevation of the property. The proposal would also remain set back from the public highway to the side elevation, and would be screened from this public highway by mature green material. The proposal is also partially screened from other properties on Lime Close, due to its positioning to the far side of the host dwelling. Additionally, the proposed scale and design of the side extension is considered to remain proportionate to the existing dwelling. Therefore it is not considered that the proposal would could harm to the character and appearance of the property, as well as to the adjacent Conservation Area to the front of the application site.
With the application site as an end plot of Lime Close, and the proposed extension being built adjacent to the public highway, no overlooking concerns are expected in relation to neighbouring properties. The adjacent neighbour (4 Lime Close), is partially screened from the proposal, and no material impacts to the neighbouring amenities of this neighbour are expected to occur.
Additionally, the proposal would include a window on the rear extension that would face into the garden of another adjacent neighbour (100 Bedford Road). However it is noted that there is significant separation distances between the two properties, and any potential overlooking concerns would only pertain to the garden of the adjacent neighbour, and not to the dwellinghouse.
All other properties are sufficiently separated from the application dwelling.
In regards to the external render proposed, the property is located outside of the Barton-Le-Clay Conservation Area, but any changes to the exterior could impact the setting of the Conservation Area itself. However, the changes in external appearance are not expected to be unduly harmful to the character of the area. Additionally, it is noted that the adjacent neighbour (4 Lime Close) has benefited from additional exterior changes to their property, so therefore it is not considered that the proposed render would appear at odds with the existing grain and pattern of development in the streetscene.
The proposal would retain the current parking provision for the site with a garage and a hard standing area located to the front of the property. Any additional parking could be provided on the public highway, as Lime Close has no highway restrictions and is an unclassified road.
The Tree and Landscape Officer was consulted and raised no objection to the proposal, however they requested to inclusion of a condition to any planning permission issued, which has been attached to this report. Barton-Le-Clay Parish Council were consulted and raised no objection, but did echo the recommendations of the Tree and Landscape Officer. Additionally, The Archeological Officer was also consulted and raised no objection.
This proposal was also subject to a public and neighbour consultation and no responses were received.
Given the siting, design and scale of the proposal, it is not considered the proposal would result in any material impacts on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties and would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore considered to be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, 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.
