)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a semi-detached dwelling located on Prospect Road in Langford. The proposal consists of a single storey rear extension to the main dwellinghouse measuring a width of 6.2m and a depth of 4.5m. The proposed flat roof would extend across both the proposed extension and the existing garage/outbuilding and would measure 3.05m in height. Additionally, two rooflights are proposed above the rear extension to the main dwellinghouse.
It is noted that the existing connected outbuilding is currently a garage, which would be converted within this application to a Playroom, Bathroom and Utility.
Both the extension and the garage conversion would be located to the rear of the property, and would not be visible from the streetscene of Prospect Road. Therefore, it is not considered that the proposed extension would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
The proposed extension would be built to the boundary with the adjacent neighbour (5 Prospect Road). It is noted that an extension to the rear of this adjacent neighbour has two windows facing into the application site. From visiting the site, it is considered that the light to this window would be obscured by the introduction of this proposal, but it is noted that these windows do not seem to be the primary light source for this extension, and that the proposal would therefore not have an unacceptably overbearing impact on this neighbour.
The proposal is set off the boundary with the other adjacent neighbour (9 Prospect Road), and this separation distance is considered to be sufficient as to not lead to a loss of light, loss of privacy or any overbearing impacts on this adjacent neighbour.
All other neighbours are considered sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impact.
Langford Parish Council were consulted on this application, and no comments were received.
A Highways Officer was consulted on this application, and commented that there would be no loss of parking and the introduction of this proposal would not negatively impact the public highway. Additionally, comments were made by this Officer, and these have been attached to this report.
Furthermore, a Rights-of-Way Officer and Ecology Officer were also consulted on this application, and similarly raised no objection to this proposal .
This application was also subject to public and neighbour consultation, and no representations were received.
Given the siting, design and scale of the proposal it is not considered that this proposal would not have any unacceptable impacts on the residential amenities of the neighbouring properties, and would not have any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore in conformity with Policy HQ1 of Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and the 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.
