)Reasons For Granting:
The application site is a semi-detached dwelling located on Station Road in Flitwick. The proposal consists of the demolition of an existing conservatory and the erection of a single storey rear extension, the extension would have a proposed width of approximately 3.9m and a depth of 4m. The proposal will have a flat roof with an eaves height of 3.3M and a highest point also measuring 3.3M proposed across the whole extension.
The proposed extension would have a similar footprint to the existing conservatory but would extend an additional 1.2M to the rear. Due to the size of the garden and the limited increase in footprint, the proposal would be modest in scale and is considered proportionate in scale to the host dwelling. The single storey rear extension would not be readily visible within the street scene and it is not considered to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area. There is a Grade 2 listed building nearby at 2 Gravel Pit Road, however, due to the proposal not being visible from the street scene it would not impact the setting of the listed building. 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.
In terms of neighbouring amenity, the single storey rear extension is set off the boundary with 76 Station Road. Given the existing boundary treatment, difference in levels and the scale and design of the proposed development it is not considered that the proposal would result in any detrimental loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact to this neighbour. Additionally, the other adjacent neighbour, 80 Station Road, has benefited from its own single storey rear extension, so therefore given the existing built form, it is not considered that the proposal would have a detrimental impact on the residential amenities of this neighbour. All other neighbours are sufficiently separated from the application dwelling for there to be any material impact.
Dunstable Town Council were consulted and raised no objection. The Council's Archaeology team, were also consulted and raised no objection. This application was also subject to a public and neighbour consultation and no representations were received.
The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and Section 11 of Central Bedfordshire Design Guide 2023.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.
