1 )Reasons For Granting, The property is a semi-detached dwelling located on Astwick Road in Stotfold. The proposal consists of a L-shaped single storey rear extension with a width of 6.6m at its widest and 2.8m at its narrowest, and a depth of 3m at it shallowest, and 5m at its deepest. A proposed pitched roof would extend across the width of the extension with a eaves height of 2.4m and a highest point of 3.4m. An additional roof pitch is proposed across the protruding element of the rear extension with an eaves height of 2.5m, and a highest point of 3.5m. A rooflight is proposed across the width of the main roofslope, with a further two rooflights proposed either side rear facing roofslope. The proposal would be located to the rear of the property and would not be visible from the streetscene of Astwick Road. Therefore, it is considered that the proposed extension would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the streetscene and surrounding area. The proposed extension would adjacent to the boundary with neighbouring property (81 Astwick Road), at a depth of 3 metres. There is existing boundary treatment in the form of a fence between the two properties, due to the scale of the proposal it is not considered that the introduction of this extension would lead to any material impacts on the residential amenities of this neighbouring property. No neighbours are directly located to the other side of the boundary of the application site, and all other properties are considered sufficiently separated to have a material impact. No additional bedrooms are proposed within this application, and therefore adequate parking provision has been maintained on site. Therefore no additional parking needs to be demonstrated on the application site. Stotfold Parish Council have been consulted on this application and raised no objection. This application 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 have any material impacts on the residential amenities of any neighbouring properties, and would not have any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding streetscene.

6 )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.
