)Reasons for granting
The application site is 28 Lime Grove, Linslade, Leighton Buzzard. The host dwelling is a semi-detached 1 storey dwelling and is surrounded by dwellings that vary in scale and design.
The proposed development includes a single storey rear extension following demolition of rear conservatory and rear decking which would be sited to the rear of the host dwelling, and as such the proposal would not be visible within the public realm. The proposed development would be considered appropriate in scale and design. Therefore, the proposal would not result in a detrimental impact to the character and appearance of the dwelling or the wider area.
In terms of impact on neighbouring amenity, the proposed development would be sited adjacent to the shared boundary with No. 27 Lime Grove. The proposed rear extension would protrude beyond No. 27 rear built form by some 3 metres. Given the existing boundary treatment between the two properties in respect of a 1.8 metre fence sited along the common boundary between the two properties, it is considered on balance that the proposal would not result in a detrimental overbearing impact, loss of light or loss of privacy to the occupants at No. 27. The proposed timber decking to the rear of the host dwelling due to its scale, design, topography and siting (in terms of proximity to boundary and/or relationship with neighbouring properties), would not be considered to result in a harmful overbearing impact, a material loss of light, or a loss of outlook to any neighbouring dwelling. To the west of the application site are No. 15 and 16 The Paddocks due to the adequate separation distance from the shared boundary, the further separation distance from the nearest built form of these neighbouring properties and the single storey nature of the proposal it is not considered that the proposal would result in a detrimental impact to the occupants at No. 15 and 16 The Paddocks.
All other neighbouring dwellings would be sufficiently separated from the proposal and as such there will be no impact to these neighbours.
The application was subject to public consultation and one representation was received highlighting no objection to the proposal.
The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with, Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021), Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide (2023) 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.
