)Reasons For Granting
The property is a detached L-shaped dwelling located on Arnold Rise in Biggleswade. The proposal consists of a single storey rear extension with fenestration changes, and the erection of a new boundary wall.
The rear extension would be located on the western elevation of the proposal and would measure a width of 2m, a depth of 1.25m, and would have a flat roof with a height measuring 3m. The proposed boundary wall would replace a section of the existing fenceline, and would attach to the proposed extension. Additionally, bi fold doors and two windows are proposed on the existing side elevation, as well as a uPVC door. These fenestration changes would face into the garden of the application site, and would not be visible from the streetscene.
The proposal would be visible from the side elevation due to the nature of the application site as a corner plot. However the proposal would be marginally set away from the road, and would not interfere with the public highway.
Arnold Rise is characterised through a mixed pattern of development, so therefore it is not considered that this proposal would appear at odds with the existing grain and pattern of development.
Overall, the scale and design of the proposal would remain proportionate to the main dwelling house, and would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
The proposed extension and new boundary wall would be visible from the adjacent neighbour (8 Arnold Rise), however it would be separated from this adjacent neighbour by a double garage and driveway, and would therefore not have any material impacts on the residential amenities of this property. Due to the location of the proposal on the far side of the main dwellinghouse, it is separated from the other adjacent neighbour (4 Arnold Rise) and partially screened by the main bulk of the dwellinghouse. Therefore, this proposal would not lead to any loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impacts on this adjacent neighbour.
All other properties are considered sufficiently separated from the application site.
The proposal would not impact parking provision on the site, as no additional bedrooms are proposed.
Biggleswade Town Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection. The Ecology Officer and Archaeology Officer were consulted on this application and raised no objection to this proposal. During a public and neighbour consultation, a neighbour comment was received in support of the application, and no additional representations were received.
Given the siting, design and scale of the proposal it is not considered that the proposal would have any material impacts on the residential amenities of any neighbouring properties, and would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and the Biggleswade Neighbourhood Plan (2021).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.
