)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a semi-detached dwelling located on Cambridge Way in Langford. The proposal consists of a wraparound single storey rear extension to the main dwellinghouse, and garage located to the side elevation.
The single storey rear extension would extend across the existing rear of the dwellinghouse and would have a width of 6.4m, a depth of 3m and a mono pitched roof with an eaves height of 2.8m and a highest point measuring 3.7m. The wraparound element to the garage would have a width of 3.6m, a depth of 4.4m, and a flat roof measuring 2.8m.
The rear extensions would extend to be in line with each other, however due to the stepped nature of the proposal, where the main dwellinghouse sits at a higher level than the garage, the proposed extension would remain at different levels, and would create a stepped effect at the rear of the property.
Both proposed extensions are located to the rear of the property, and would not be readily visible from the streetscene. Therefore, it is not expected that the proposals would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
The proposed extension to the garage would be built to the boundary with the adjacent neighbour (16 Cambridge Way), however due to the scale of the proposal, the change in levels along the streetscene and the existing boundary treatment, it is not considered that the proposal would lead to any detrimenta impact on the residential amenities of this neighbour.
The proposed rear extension to the main dwellinghouse would be built slightly separated from the boundary of the other adjacent neighbour (20 Cambridge Way). It is noted that this adjacent neighbour has also benefited from a rear extension, and therefore, this proposal is also notconsidered to have a detrimental impact on the residential amenities of this adjacent neighbour.
All other properties are considered sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impacts.
Langford Parish Council were consulted and raised no objection. Additionally, an Ecology Officer was consulted on this application and similarly raised no objection.
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 result in any detrimental impact on the residential amenities of any neighbouring properties or 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, Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and Langford 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.
