)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a detached dwelling located on Meadow Walk in Henlow. The proposal consists of a dormer/canopy with three windows located into the rear roofslope. The proposal would have a width of 7.3m, a height of 2.6m, and would protrude 3.1m from the existing roofslope. Additionally, the proposal would be separated 0.43m from the eaves, and no windows would be located on the side elevations of the dormer.
The proposed dormer would be located to the rear of the dwellinghouse, and would not be visible to the streetscene of Meadow Walk. Additionally, the proposal would be finished with a wood effect cladding on the face of the dormer, and seam metal cladding to the side elevations.
Other rear dormers of a similar style and finish are located within the vicinity of the application site, and therefore the proposal would not be at odds with the grain and pattern of development.
Overall, the proposal therefore would not lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding streetscene.
The rear dormer would face the garden of the application site and a meadow to the rear, and therefore would not overlook any neighbouring properties. Additionally, due to the angle and setting of the main dwellinghouse on its plot, the rear dormer would not have a material impact on the adjacent neighbouring properties (53 and 57 Meadow Walk). Furthermore, as no windows are proposed on the side elevations of this rear dormer, it is not expected that the proposal would lead to any overlooking concerns.
All other properties are considered sufficiently separated form the application site for there to be any material impact.
The proposal would lead to the creation of a fourth bedroom on the application site, and therefore three parking spaces are required on the application site with the third space able to be provided off-site. However, on the basis of scale and nature of development, adequate parking can be retained.
Henlow Parish Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection to the proposal. Additionally, a Tree and Landscape Officer was also consulted on this application, and similarly raised no objection to this proposal, as any proposed changes to the property would be minor, and the existing landscaping on the site would be retained.
This application was also subject to a public and neighbour consultation, and one representation was received raising no comment towards the application.
Given the siting, design and scale of the proposal it is not considered that the proposal would have any material impacts on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties, and would not have a detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding streetscene.
The proposal is therefore in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and the Central Bedfordshire Deign 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.
