)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a semi detached dwelling located on How End Road in Houghton Conquest. The proposal consists of the demolition of an exiting conservatory on the front elevation and the erection of a single storey front extension.
This new extension would have a similar footprint to the existing conservatory, with a width of 3.7m, a depth of 3.2m and a pitched roof with an eaves height of 2.5m and a highest point measuring 3.6m.
The proposal would be visible from the streetscene of How End Road, but would remain set back from the public highway and would not extend further than the existing conservatory. Consequently, it is not considered that this proposal would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the streetscene or surrounding area.
The proposal would be built to the boundary with the adjacent neighbour (8 How End Road), however due to existing built form located at the same proximity to the boundary, and the modest size of the proposal, it is not considered that this application would have any material impacts on the residential amenities of this neighbouring property.
The application site is also located adjacent to a public Right of Way. A Rights of Way Officer was consulted on this application, who confirmed that the proposal would not have any impact on the public Right of Way network.
All other properties are considered sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impact.
The proposal would replace existing built form the front of the property, and due to the similar dimensions and no additional bedrooms being proposed, adequate parking provision has been maintained on the application site.
Houghton Conquest Parish Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection. Additionally an Ecology Officer and Tree & Landscape Officer were also consulted on this application and similarly raised no objection.
It is noted that the proposal is located within the Forest of Marston Vale, however due to the modest nature of the proposal, and it acting as a like-for-like replacement of existing built form, it is not considered appropriate to attach a landscaping condition in this instance.
This proposal 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 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 and EE9 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and 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.
