)Reasons for Granting:
The proposal seeks planning permission for the erection of a single storey side extension and front porch. A revised scheme has been received, reducing the width of the side extension and amending the roof design of the front porch from a 'lean-to' roof, to a dual-pitched roof.
The application site comprises a two-storey, end-of-terrace dwellinghouse located along Newton View, in Flitwick. The surrounding area is residential in nature, characterised with dwellings of a similar design and scale.
The proposed front porch would be sited on the principal elevation of the dwellinghouse, readily visible within the streetscene. This aspect of the proposal would have a dual-pitched roof, reflecting the design and character of the existing dwelling. The porch would be modest in its scale and design and would form a sympathetic addition to the dwelling, which would not give rise to any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area. The proposed single storey side extension would be partially visible to the public realm, above the existing brick boundary wall at the application site. This aspect of the proposal would be modest in its scale and design and would form a proportionate and appropriate addition to the dwelling, which would not give rise to any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area. An outbuilding at the site is indicated to be demolished, as part of the proposal. Providing this outbuilding is demolished and the extension is constructed, sufficient amenity space would be retained and the proposal would also not give rise to any overdevelopment of the plot. A relevant condition would be applied to any approval to ensure this.
Regarding neighbouring amenity, the proposed front porch would be appropriately separated and/ or screened from neighbouring dwellings as to where they would not be detrimentally impacted. The proposed side extension would be sited immediately adjacent to the shared boundary with No. 5 Newton View, for a depth of 3 metres. Whilst the side extension would likely give rise to some loss of outlook to this neighbouring dwelling; on balance, on the basis of its modest proportions and roof and eaves height, it would not be deemed to give rise to a detrimental overbearing impact, or loss of light, which would warrant a reason for the refusal of this application on this basis.
The proposal would not increase the number of bedrooms within the host dwellinghouse and would not affect the existing parking or access arrangements at the site. As such, as regards highway considerations, the proposal would be acceptable on a 'like-for-like' basis.
Neighbouring properties and the Town Council have been consulted on this application. The Town Council raised no comment and no comments were received in the form of public representations.
Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, the Parking Standards for New Developments SPD and Section 12 of the NPPF.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.
