)Reasons for Granting
The application site, known as 47 Lynton Avenue, supports a semi-detached house with a pre-existing, single-storey, brick-built storeroom to the rear. The proposal seeks to demolish the existing rear projection and replace with a larger single storey rear extension to create a kitchen, office and bedroom area with French doors and roof lights.
The existing structure has a depth of some 5 metres and maximum height of 2.8 metres. The proposal would have a depth of some 8 metres, eaves height of 2.3 metres and 3.5 metres ridge height. The main bulk of the proposal would be set off the boundary by some 0.3m, with the existing structure height being maintained at the boundary.
The rear extension would not be readily visible from the street scene and would therefore not have a material impact on the character or appearance of the local area. The proposed materials would be of a similar appearance to those used in the construction of the original dwelling.
In terms of neighbouring impact and amenity, given the existing structure adjacent to the boundary, the limited eaves height and the design of the proposal, it is not considered that it would give rise to a detrimental loss of light or overbearing impact for neighbouring property 45 Lynton Avenue. There are no windows proposed on the side elevation facing this neighbour and therefore there would be no loss of privacy.
No.36 Lynton Avenue is sufficiently separated from the proposal for there to be no material impact on the residential amenities of this property.
Arlesey Town Council were consulted on this application and have raised no objection. The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received.
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.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.
