)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a detached dwelling located on Church Path in Sandy. The proposal consists of a single storey side extension and the replacement of a single storey rear extension.
The side extension would extend from the existing kitchen space and would measure 1.7m at its deepest width, and 1.3m at its shalllowest, 5.2m in depth and would have a flat roof with a mono pitched roof with an eaves height ,measuring 2.4m and a highest point of 3.1m. Additionally, two rooflights are proposed to be set into the roofslope.
The proposed rear extension would replace an existing extension and would measure 3.5m in width, 7m in depth and would have a pitched roof with an eaves height of 2m and a highest point of 3.5m.
The proposed rear extension would not be visible from the streetscene, however the side extension would be visible. It is noted that the side extension is set back from the principal elevation and public highway, and therefore it is considered that the proposal would not have a material impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area or streetscene.
The proposed rear extension would be built to the boundary with the adjacent neighbour (24 Spring Grove), however, the main dwellinghouse of this adjacent neighbour is notably separate from the boundary with the application site. Additionally, existing built form (with a similar footprint) at the same positioning of the proposal on this neighbouring property would negate any detrimental impacts on the residential amenities of this neighbour.
The proposed side and rear extension would be built away from the boundary with the other adjacent neighbours (84 and 86 Laburnum Road), and alongside existing boundary treatment in the form of a notable height boundary wall, it is not considered that the proposals would cause a loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact on these properties.
All other properties are considered to be sufficiently separated form the application site for there to be any material impact.
Sandy Town Council were consulted and raised no objection, additionally, an Archaeology Officer was also consulted and similarly raised no objection. An Ecology Officer has reviewed this application, and did not have any objection to the proposal, but did comment that it is the legal responsibility of the contractor to check for bats throughout any work to roofing or timber.
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 the proposal would have any material impacts on the residential amenities of the neighbouring properties, and that there would be no detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding streetscene. This proposal is therefore in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the 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.
