)Reasons for granting:
The application site is a detached property located on Derwent Rise, Flitwick. The proposal is for the demolition of existing porch and erection of single storey front extension. The front extension would have a depth of 1.95m, a width of 5.9m and a pitched roof height of 3.6m.
The proposed front extension is set to the front of the property so would be visible to the streetscene and would extend beyond the existing front of the property. However it would be set back from the highway boundary and the scale and design would remain proportionate to the property. Overall, the proposed development is not considered to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
In terms of neighbouring amenity, the front extension is set near the boundary of No.48 Derwent Rise however due to its small scale it is not considered that the proposal would lead to significant impact upon the neighbouring amenity enjoyed by this neighbour. All other properties are sufficiently separated from the front extension.
It is therefore considered that the proposal as a whole would not result in any material impact on the residential amenities of any neighbouring properties and would therefore be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
Given the nature of the development parking at the front of site would be impacted as the front extension would go past the established building line. However as shown on plan CHISHOLM1/10P/SK(A) 24 B there is sufficient parking arrangements for two spaces at the property and 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.
The Town Council were consulted on the application and have raised no objections. The Ecology Team were consulted on this application and raised no objections.
The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received.
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 Section 11 of Central Bedfordshire Design Guide 2023.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.
