)Reasons for Granting:
The proposal seeks planning permission for a single storey front extension.
The application site comprises a two-storey, semi-detached dwellinghouse located along Windermere Drive in Biggleswade. The surrounding area is residential in nature, characterised with dwellings of a similar design and scale. The proposed single storey extension would be sited to the front elevation and would therefore be readily visible to the public realm. The proposal would be modest in its scale and design and would form a sympathetic addition to the existing dwelling.

)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.
