Informative Notes:
1 )Reasons For Granting, The property is a semi detached dwelling located along Chiltern Close in Ampthill. The proposal consists of a single storey side extension measuring a width of 3m, a depth of 11m and a mono pitched roof with an eaves height of 2.5m, and a highest point measuring 3.6m. The extension would be used as a garage, and would include a roller door on its front elevation. Additionally, the proposal would include the creation of a canopy over the front door of the property, which would protrude 1.2m from the principal elevation and would have a highest point of 3.5m. Furthermore, an existing outbuilding located to the rear of the property would be demolished within the application to allow for the proposal to be built. The proposed side extension would be visible from the streetscene of Chiltern Close, and the proposed canopy would extend marginally beyond the principal elevation. However, the proposal would remain set back from the public highway. The streetscene of Chiltern Close is strongly characterised by semi-detached properties, and due to this proposal remaining separated from the boundary with the detached neighbour, it is considered that this proposal would not be at odds with the grain and pattern of development across Chiltern Close. Therefore, the proposal would not cause any detrimental impacts to the character and appearance of the surrounding streetscene. The proposal would be visible from the adjacent neighbour (7 Chiltern Close), however a separation distance between the two properties is noted, and due to the single storey nature of the proposal it is not considered that this introduction of this side extension would lead to any material impacts on this adjacent neighbour. Furthermore, the proposal would be obscured from the other adjacent neighbour (5 Chiltern Close) by the bulk of the main dwellinghouse, and therefore no loss lo light, loss of privacy or overbearing impacts would occur through the introduction of this proposal. All other properties are considered to be sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impact. Ampthill Town Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection. This proposal 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 considered that the proposal would not have any material impacts on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties, or lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding streetscene. Therefore, the proposal is in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.Reasons For Granting, The property is a semi detached dwelling located along Chiltern Close in Ampthill.

5 )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.
