)Reasons for granting:
The application seeks consent for a single storey rear extension and new roof over the existing single storey projection, and loft conversion. The loft conversion would consist of two rooflights on the front roof slope, and two dormer windows to the rear. One dormer window would be on the original rear roof slope and one on the existing shared gable rear projection.
The proposed single storey rear extension and dormer windows would not be visible from the street scene. The only aspect of the proposal that would be readily visible would be the rooflights on the front roof slope. There are a number of dormer windows/ rooflights present within the street scene, therefore it is not considered that the proposal would have a material impact on the character and appearance of the area or appear at odds with the grain of development. Whilst, the dormers are fairly large, they are set down from the main ridge line and set up from the eaves, so would appear acceptable in appearance.
In terms of impact on neighbouring properties, 98 The Baulk would be screened from the dormer to the shared gable projection and the single storey rear extension would not extend further than the built form of this neighbour. The dormer to the main roof slope would also be partially screened. Therefore, it is not considered that the proposal would have a detrimental impact on the residential amenities of this neighbour.
102 The Baulk, has previously been extended and benefits from a rear dormer to the main roof slope. Given the siting and design of the single storey rear extension and dormer to the rear roof slope, these elements would not have a detrimental impact on the residential amenities of this neighbour. The side dormer to the rear gable projection, would not have a material impact in terms of loss of light or overbearing impact. There would be 2 windows on the side elevation, one would be high level and the second obscure glazed and serving a bathroom. It is therefore considered that there would be no loss of privacy to this neighbour from these windows.
The application was subject to public consultation and a comment was received in relation to the downpipe and potential impacts. The comments are acknowledged, however, this would be a matter for consideration at the Building Regulation stage.
The Town Council were consulted on the application and raised no objection.
In light of the above, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, Biggleswade Neighbourhood Plan, and the National Planning Policy Framework.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.
