)Reasons for granting
The application site is 16 Edgecote Close, Caddington. The host dwelling is a semi-detached two storey dwelling, constructed of brickwork with a tiled roof and is surrounded by dwellings that are similar in scale and design.
The proposed development includes a single storey rear extension.
The single storey rear extension would be sited to the rear of the dwelling. The proposal would be considered appropriate in scale and design and therefore it is not considered that the proposed single storey rear extension would result in a detrimental impact to the character and appearance of the area.
In terms of impact on neighbouring amenity, the rear extension would be set off the shared boundary with No. 15 Edgecote Close and there would be a further separation distance from the nearest built form of this neighbour. It is therefore considered that the proposal would not result in a detrimental impact to the amenities of the occupants at No. 15. The rear extension would be sited adjacent to the shared boundary with No. 17 Edgecote Close. The proposal would protrude beyond No. 17 rear built form by some 2.03 metres; however, the rear extension would pass the 45 guidance in relation No. 17 rear bi-fold doors. Therefore, due to the rear extension compliance with the 45 degree guidance it is considered on balance that the proposal would not result in an overbearing impact or loss of light to the rear built form at No. 17.
All other neighbouring dwellings would be sufficiently separated from the proposal and as such there will be no impact to these neighbours.
It is therefore considered that the proposal as a whole would not result in any material impact on the residential amenities of any neighbouring properties and would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area. The proposal is therefore considered to be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
The application was subject to public consultation and no representations 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.
