)Reasons for Granting
The application site adjoins the Green Belt boundary, however the proposal and application site would not be washed over by the Green Belt. The application seeks planning permission for a single storey rear extension, following the approval of planning permission CB/22/01117/FULL which granted permission for a single storey side and rear extension as well as an extension to the existing access. Due to the positioning of the proposal, the proposed rear and side extension from the previous approval would not be able to be built in conjunction to the proposed rear extension. The proposed rear extension would not be visible to the street scene, nevertheless, it is considered that the proposed rear extension would appear subservient to the main dwelling and would not have a significant impact on the character of the area.
The proposed rear extension would be sited immediately on the shared boundary with No.64 Markyate Road. The proposal would not protrude further than the previously approved extension, nevertheless, the proposed rear extension would pass the 45 Degree rule of light outlined in Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, in regard to No.64's ground floor rear elevation window. The 45 Degree Rule aims to maintain a reasonable relationship between existing building and extensions, as well as preventing an excessive daylight loss or overshadowing to habitable rooms of neighbouring properties.
The proposed rear extension would also be situated some 3.6 metres away from the shared boundary of No.68 Markyate Road and would be further situated away from the rear elevation by 5.9 metres. As such, due to the scale, siting and design of the proposal combined with a separation distance of some 5.9 metres, there is not considered to be any unacceptable impacts on neighbouring amenities for this property.
On the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate parking has been retained. The proposal does not create any additional bedrooms and as such will not be required to demonstrate further onsite parking.
It is considered that the proposal will be in accordance with Section 12 of the NPPF, Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Parking Standards in new development SPD 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.
