)Reasons for Granting
The proposal is a detached bungalow located on Bedford Road in Barton-Le-Clay. The proposal consists of a single storey rear extension with a width of 6.9m, a depth of 4.6m with a pitched roof measuring 2.2m at the eaves and 4.8m at its highest point. Additionally, a partial conversion of a rear garage to a Utility/Boot Room measuring 3.5m in width, a depth of 2.8m and a flat roof with a height of 2.3m is proposed.
A storm porch is proposed to frame the front door of the property, extending 1.35m from the principal elevation. This porch would also have a width of 2.56m, an eaves height of 2.3m and a highest point of 3.7m.
The proposed rear extension and partial garage conversion would be located to the rear of the property and would not be visible from the streetscene. The front storm porch would be minimal in size and a sympathetic addition to the principal elevation of the property. Therefore it is not considered that the proposal would have any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the property, the streetscene and the surrounding area.
The proposed extension to the rear of the property would be significantly separated from the adjacent neighbour (10 Churchill Road), so therefore no overlooking concerns or loss of privacy is expected to occur. Additionally, existing boundary treatment in the form of substantial green material would also screen the proposal from this neighbouring property. The garage conversion would not lead to any additional built form on the property, and therefore would not extend closer to the boundary with the other adjacent boundary (114 Bedford Road). Furthermore, the proposed garage conversion would also partially screen the proposed rear extension from this adjacent neighbour.
Overall it is not considered that the proposal would have any detrimental impact upon the adjacent neighbouring properties. All other properties to the rear of the application site (notably 11 Churchill Road and 56 Stuart Road) are judged to be significantly separated from the proposal for there to be any material impacts.
The proposed partial garage conversion would reduce the existing garage space, an therefore does not fit the dimensions to constitute an on-site parking space. However, the property has two bedrooms, and adequate spaces can still be provided to the front of the application site. Therefore, despite the loss of an on-site parking space, adequate parking provision is still maintained.
Barton-Le-Clay Parish Council were consulted on this proposal and no objection was raised. The proposal was also subject to public and neighbour consultation and no representations were received.
Given, the siting, design and scale of the proposals, it is not considered the proposal would result in any material impacts on the residential amenities of the neighbouring properties and would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore considered to be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and Central Bedfordshire Design GuideReasons 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.
