)Reasons for granting
The proposal seeks consent for a single storey rear extension. The application site is within the South Bedfordshire Green Belt, where more restrictive policies apply. The planning history of the site suggests that the dwelling has previously benefitted from a pitched roof over the existing bungalow.
The proposed extension would be proportionate and subservient to the main dwelling. In accordance with the design guide, it would not result in an additional footprint/ floorspace above 60% and therefore would not be considered inappropriate development.
Due to the siting and design of the proposal it would not have a material impact on the character and appearance of the area, nor the host dwelling.
Given the separation distance between neighbouring properties, it is not considered that it would have a material impact on residential amenities of neighbouring properties.
The application has been subject to public consultation and no representations have been received. Heath and Reach Parish Council were consulted and have no comment to make.
In light of the above, as a whole the proposal is considered to be in conformity with the Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and the NPPF.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.
