)Reasons for granting:
The proposed pitched roof to the existing garage would be partially visible to the streetscene however it is considered proportionate in scale to the dwelling, and it is not considered to have a material impact on the character and appearance of the area. There is no additional built footprint on site due to the conversion of the garage.
The garage conversion is set slightly off the boundary with No.9 Poplar Close. Given the siting, design and scale of development it is not considered the garage conversion would result in any loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact to this neighbour. All other properties are sufficiently separated from the garage conversion to ensure no significant impact would arise from the development.
The Parish Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection subject to the use of the proposed outbuilding remaining ancillary to the main dwelling house. The proposed use of the conversion would appear incidental to the main dwelling, nevertheless, in order to ensure the use is incidental to the dwellinghouse, this will be conditioned which will also make sure the garage is not used for any other purpose.
The works would not impact the existing parking provision for the site as the existing garage would not be considered as parking due to the driveway length exceeding 11.0m which would accommodate two vehicles in tandem with a 1.0m clearance. On this basis the Highways Officer offered no objections but suggested an informative, this will be attached to the decision notice below.
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 Section 11 of 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.
