)Reasons for granting:
The proposed front extension is set to the front of the property and would therefore be visible to the streetscene, extending beyond the existing front of the property. There is a range of front extensions in the vicinity of the application site. Due to the scale and design of the proposal it would remain proportionate to the host dwelling. 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 close to the boundary of No.51 Benning Avenue, however, due to its small scale and the existing built form on the neighbouring property and application site 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.
The proposal would not be increasing the number of bedrooms at the property, nor would it affect the existing parking arrangements. As such, the Highways Officer stated that the parking layout will be deemed like-for-like and so the proposal is not considered to cause a detrimental impact to the highway.
Informatives to the applicant were suggested by the council's Highways Officer, these will be attached to the decision notice below.
It is considered that the proposal would 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 Section 11 of 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.
