)Reasons for Granting:
The proposal seeks planning permission for a two storey side extension and the removal of an existing single storey side extension.
The application site comprises a two-storey, end of terrace dwellinghouse located along Potton Road in Biggleswade. The surrounding area is residential in nature, characterised with dwellings of a varied design and scale. The proposal would be sited to the side of the dwellinghouse, readily visible within the streetscene. The proposal, whilst relatively large in its width, would be set down from the ridgeline and set back from the principal elevation of the dwellinghouse and as such; would be considered to form a subservient addition to the dwelling. On the basis of the varied dwellings and development within the streetscene, the proposal's design and the plot size; the proposed two storey side extension would be considered to form an appropriate addition to the application site, which would not be deemed to result in any detrimental impact to the character and appearance of the area.
As regards neighbouring amenity, the proposed two storey side extension would be separated from neighbouring dwelling house No. 74 Potton Road by some 8.5 metres (approx.), some 2 metres from the boundary of this property. On the basis of this separation, the proposal would not be deemed to result in any detrimental overbearing impact or loss of light to this neighbouring dwelling.
No fenestration would be sited on the side elevation of the proposal. Moreover, the window sited on the rear elevation would not be considered to provide any greater outlook when compared to the existing first floor windows of the dwelling and as such, no detrimental overlooking impact to any neighbouring dwellings would be deemed to arise.
All other neighbouring dwellings are sufficiently separated or screened from the proposal and would therefore not be detrimentally impacted.
The proposal would not adversely affect the existing parking or access arrangements at the site. The proposal benefits from ample parking on the existing driveway.
Neighbouring properties and the Town Council have been consulted on this application. The Town Council raised no objection and no comments were received in the form of public representations.
Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, the Parking Standards for New Development SPD, Section 12 of the NPPF and the Biggleswade Neighbourhood Plan.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.
