)Reasons for granting
The application site is 19 Rock Lane, Linslade, Leighton Buzzard. The host dwelling is a semi-detached constructed of brickwork with a tiled roof.
The proposed development includes 2 rear facing dormers and hip to gable loft conversion.
The proposed hip to gable would be readily visible within the street scene. The hip to gable extension would be readily visible within the street scene. Whilst there are no examples of hip to gable extensions within the street scene, due to its modest scale and design, it would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the surrounding area. The rear dormers due to their siting to the rear of the host dwelling would be partially visible alon Rock Lane and Rock Close. Due to the appropriate scale and design of the dormers, it is not considered that they would result in a detrimental harm to the character and appearance of the area.
In terms of impact on neighbouring amenity, Leighton-Linslade Town Council commented no objection, subject to CBC being satisfied that the proposed Juliet balcony does not result in increased overlooking and loss of privacy to the neighbouring rear gardens of No. 17 and 21 Rock Lane. The proposed rear dormers would be sited adjacent to the shared boundary with No. 17 Rock Lane. However, the rear dormers would be facing away from the occupants at No. 17. Moreover, whilst the rear dormers would add additional windows to the rear elevation of the dwelling, this relationship already exists with first floor windows and it is not considered it would in a detrimental loss of privacy to neighbouring dwelling No. 17. No. 21 would be sufficiently separated from the proposed development and there would be a further separation distance from the nearest built form of this neighbour. In addition, the proposed dormers would be facing away from the occupants at No. 21.
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 no representation in relation to the proposed development were received.
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.
