)Reasons for granting:
The dwelling is a semi detached property located on Lea Road in Ampthill. The proposal consists of a single storey rear extension measuring a width of 6.4m, a depth of 3.38m and a pitched roof with an eaves height of 2.3m and a highest point of 3.5m.
Additional changes are proposed to the existing front extension, with new roof tiles and rooflight proposed, as well as a new door proposed to the front elevation and the removal of a door to be replaced by a window on the side elevation.
An existing conservatory and part of the existing garage would be demolished and replaced by the proposed rear extension. This extension would extend the width of the existing property, and would not be visible from the streetscene. However, given the scale and design of the proposal it is considered proportionate to the host dwelling and would therefore not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
The garage would be partially demolished (at the rear) and a window and door are proposed to the rear elevation of the remaining garage. A mock pitch will be added to the front of the garage. Whilst this would be visible from the streetscene it is not considered that it would have a material impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
The proposed changes to the front elevation would be visible to the streetscene, however as no additional built form is proposed and the sympathetic nature of the changes, it is not considered that these proposed alterations would be at odds with the existing grain and pattern of development along Lea Road.
The rear extension would be adjacent to the boundary with the adjacent neighbour (31 Lea Road), however the neighbouring property has benefitted from an existing rear extension and the proposed extension would not extend beyond the rear elevation of this neighbouring extension. It is therefore considered that the proposal would not have any material impact on this neighbouring property.
The existing garage is adjacent to the boundary with the neighbouring property, 27 Lea Road. The proposed partial demolition of the garage would remove built form from the boundary, and therefore it is not considered there would be any material impact on the residential amenities of this property.
All other properties are considered sufficiently separated from the application dwelling.
The proposal does not create any additional bedrooms, so no additional parking spaces would need to be demonstrated. Therefore due to the nature of this proposal, adequate parking provision would be maintained.
Ampthill Town Council were consulted and raised no objection. This application was also subject to a public and neighbour consultation and no representations were received.
Given the siting, design and scale of the proposal it is not considered that it would result in any material impact on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties or on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore considered to be in conformity with Policy HQ1 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.
