)Reasons for Granting:
The proposal seeks planning permission for single storey side and rear extensions.
The application site comprises a two-storey, semi-detached dwellinghouse, one of a 'pair' fronting Cambridge Road, in Dunton. The surrounding area is residential in nature, characterised with dwellings of a varied design and scale. The proposed side and rear extensions would replace some existing built form at the application site, however, would be sited in a slightly larger footprint, of a larger scale. The proposed extensions would have a flat roof, similar to the existing built form at the site. On the basis of the siting of the proposals and their modest scale and design; the proposed extensions would form appropriate additions to the existing dwellinghouse, which would not be considered to give rise to any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
As regards neighbouring amenity, No. 27 Cambridge Road would be screened from the proposed side extension as to where no adverse harm would arise. In addition to this, the proposed side and rear extension would be appropriately separated from No. 27 as to where no detrimental overbearing impact or loss of light would be considered to arise. Furthermore, no fenestration proposed would be deemed to result in any adverse loss of privacy.
The proposed extensions would be sited adjacent to No. 23 Cambridge Road; however, would be appropriately separated from the shared boundary. The side and rear extension would also be partially screened by the built form of the garage belonging to this neighbouring dwelling. Considering these factors, including the modest scale of the proposals and their similar siting to existing built form to be replaced; no detrimental overbearing impact or loss of light would be deemed to arise. Furthermore, no fenestration proposed would be deemed to result in any adverse loss of privacy.
The proposal would increase the number of bedrooms within the host dwelling; however, would not affect the existing parking or access arrangements at the site. The proposal is considered to benefit from ample parking on the existing driveway and to the front of the property, if required.
Neighbouring properties and the Parish Council have been consulted on this application. The Parish Council did not comment and no comments were received in the form of public representations.
Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, the Parking Standards for New Development SPD 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.
