)Reasons for granting:
The application seeks planning permission for a single storey rear extension and single storey front extension. The proposed rear extension would be shielded by the existing dwelling and would not be visible to the street scene furthermore, the proposed extension would be considered subservient in scale and design to the existing dwelling. The front extension would be visible to the streetscene however it would not extend beyond the existing front canopy of the property. Given the scale and design of the proposed front extension it would remain proportionate to the property. 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 near the boundary of No.19 Hockley Court however due to its small scale 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 proposed rear extension would not surpass the built form of No.19's rear elevation and as such it is not considered to have an adverse impact to this property. The extension would be sited immediately adjacent the boundary of No.21 Hockley Court and combined with the existing built form on site would surpass the rear projection of this property by 2.68 metres. The rear extension would have a limited impact on the light to this neighbouring property (rear window and door). The proposed 1.35m depth extension, with relatively low height would have some limited impact on the light to this neighbour, any impact on light to the rear window and door of the adjacent property would not be considered so significant to warrant a reason for refusal. On balance, it is not considered that the single storey rear extension due to the scale, orientation and the design of the proposal would result in any loss of privacy or overbearing impact to this neighbour.
On the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate parking has been retained. The proposal does not create any additional bedrooms and as such will not be required to demonstrate further onsite parking.
It is considered that the proposal will 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 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.
