)Reasons For Granting
The property is a terraced dwelling located on Meadway in Dunstable. The proposal consists of the demolition of an existing conservatory and the erection of a single storey rear extension, with a width of 5.7m, and a depth of 2.6m. A pitched roof with an eaves height of 2.9m and a highest point measuring 3.5m is proposed across the whole extension to replace the two pitched roofs that cover the existing conservatory. Two additional skylights are proposed set into the roofslope at the rear of the property.
The proposal would be modest in scale, located to the rear of the property and would not be visible from the streetscene. Given the scale and design of the proposal it is not considered to have a material impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. It is not expected that the proposal would disrupt the existing grain and pattern of development along Meadway.
The proposal would have the same footprint at the existing conservatory, and therefore would not be built to the boundary with the adjacent property (31 Meadway) however the roof pitch would extend to the boundary. 31 Meadway has benefited from its own single storey rear extension, so therefore given the existing built form, it is not considered that the proposal would have a material impact on the residential amenities of this neighbour in terms of privacy, light or overbearing impact. Additionally, the proposal would be screened from the other adjacent neighbour (35 Meadway) by existing side extensions on both the application site and the adjacent neighbours property.
All other neighbours are sufficiently separated from the application dwelling for there to be any material impact.
Dunstable Town Council were consulted and raised no objection. This application was also subject to a public and neighbour consultation and no representations were received.
As a whole, it is not considered that the proposal would result in any material impacts on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties or on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, and the 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.
