)Reasons For Granting
The application is a detached dwelling located on Mander Farm Road in Silsoe. The proposal consists of a single storey rear extension which acts as a partial infill to already existing built form. Rooflights are proposed set into both roof pitches, with two new windows and a door set into the side elevation of the proposal. Additionally replacement framing to a canopy located to the front elevation of the property is proposed.
The single storey rear extension would measure a width of 6.5m, a depth of 2.2m at its shallowest and 4.4m at its deepest. Additionally, a pitched roof is proposed with an eaves height of 2.4m and a highest point of 3.8m.
The rear extension would be modestly sized and not visible from the wider streetscene, therefore there would be no detrimental impact upon the host dwelling or the wider streetscene.
The rear proposal is also set off the boundary with both neighbouring properties (1, The Vineyards and 80 Mander Farm Road), therefore it is not considered that there would be any material impact on the residential amenities of these properties by way of loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact. The proposed windows and door located on the side extension face onto a shared driveway, and would not lead to any loss of privacy for the adjacent neighbour facing this side elevation (80 Mander Farm Road).
All other neighbours are considered sufficiently separated from the proposal for there to be any material impact.
The proposed framing around the front door would extend 0.25m further from the front extension than the currently existing canopy. The proposal would be visible from the streetscene, but set back from the public highway. Therefore due to its small scale, the framing to the front of the property is considered a sympathetic addition to the property, and would not impact the character and appearance of the surrounding streetscene.
The existing garage on the site would still be maintained and due to the proposal not leading to the creation of any additional bedrooms, additional parking on the site would not need to be demonstrated.
Silsoe Parish Council were consulted and raised no objection. This application was also subject to a public and neighbour consultation and no representations were received.
Due to the siting, design and scale of the proposals, it is not considered that the proposal would lead to any material impact on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties or on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The proposals are therefore considered to be 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.
