)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a detached dwelling located on Bluebell Close in Biggleswade. The proposal consists of the removal of an existing conservatory and the erection of a single storey rear extension. The proposal would measure a width of 5.5m, a depth of 7m and a front pitched roof, with an eaves height of 2.4m, and a highest point of 3.45m. Additionally, three rooflights are proposed on this extension, two set into the pitched element and one within the flat roof.
The proposal would extend to the edge of the main dwellinghouse on one side, and would increase the depth of built form on the property by 2.5m.
The proposal is modest in size and would be located to the rear of the property, therefore it would not be a visible addition to the streetscene of Bluebell Drive. Consequently, the proposal would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
The proposal would increase the depth of built form visible to an adjacent neighbour (26 Bluebell Close), however the proposal would be set off the boundary with this adjacent neighbour maintaining a separation. It is noted that the roof height of the proposal would be increased by some 0.15m from the existing highest point, however built form on the neighbouring site along the boundary is noted, and therefore it is not considered that the proposal would have any detrimental impact on the residential amenities of this neighbouring property.
The proposal would also be separated from the other adjacent neighbouring properties (14, 16 and 18 Clover Close), due to the conservatory and the replacement single storey rear extension being located to the other side of the application site. It is counsidered that the proposal would not lead to any loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact on these adjacent neighbours.
The adjacent property to the rear of the application site (31 Bluebell Close) would be significantly separated from the application site, and would therefore not be impacted by the introduction of this proposal.
All other properties are considered to be sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impacts.
Biggleswade Town Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection. A local councillor was also consulted and similarly 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 this application would have any detrimental impact on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties, and also would not have any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding streetscene. Therefore the proposal is in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and the Biggleswade 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.
