)Reasons for granting:
The proposed front porch extension is set to the front of the property so would be visible to the streetscene and would extend beyond the existing front of the property. There are an existing range of front extensions in the local area of a similar design to the proposal with a hipped roof, due to this it is considered the porch will be in keeping with the local area. It is considered that the scale and design would remain proportionate to the property. The front porch extension will be clad, this is to be a design feature to provide a more modern appearance to the dwelling. The cladding is not considered harmful to the streetscene or surrounding area and will compliment the design of the property. The proposed open canopy would be visible to the streetscene however given the scale and design it would remain proportionate to the property. The canopy extension would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the property or the surrounding area. Overall, the proposed development is not considered to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
The front extension is set near the boundary of No.7 Dunstall Road however due to its small scale it is not considered that the proposal would lead to significant impact upon the neighbouring amenity enjoyed by this neighbour. All other properties are sufficiently separated from the front extension. Due to the small scale it is not considered that the canopy extension would lead to a significant impact upon any neighbouring property.
On the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate parking has been retained. The proposal does not create any additional bedrooms and as such will not be required to demonstrate further onsite parking.
It is considered that the proposal will be in accordance with Section 12 of the NPPF, Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Parking Standards in new development SPD and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.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.
