)Reasons for granting:
The application site comprises of a two-storey semi-detached dwellinghouse in Clophill. 24 Tanqueray Avenue is constructed of brickwork and cladding with a pitched tiled roof and is surrounded by dwellings of similar scale, style and design.
The application seeks to demolish the existing garage, which the plans suggest is used as part play room, part storage, and construct a single storey side/rear extension to facilitate an open plan kitchin/living area. The proposal would have a width of 2.4 m, a depth of 5.3 m, an eaves height of 2.3 m and a roof ridge height of 3.3 m.
The proposal would be visible to the street scene, which exhibits semi-detached dwellings separated by single storey garages. There are examples within the street scene of garage conversions, with windows or front doors as opposed to garage doors, namely No.29 Tanqueray Ave. The proposal would retain the existing width of the single storey side aspect, however would have a lean to roof as opposed to a flat roof, which would better compliment the host dwelling. The proposal would be in matching brick, with a window on the principal elevation and roof lights within the roof. The wider street scene exhibits single storey side aspects with windows in the principal elevation, with various roof forms, and therefore the proposal would not be out of character. It is considered the proposal would be high quality design, in keeping with the existing character and appearance of the host dwelling, and would not cause harm to the character of the wider vernacular.
The proposal would not cause any detrimental impact to neighbouring amenity. The proposal would increase the roof ridge height by 0.7 metres. The proposal would be sited 1.4 metres off the shared boundary with neighbouring dwelling No. 25 Tanqueray Avenue, adjacent to this neighbours garage. The minimal roof ridge height and depth increase would not cause a detrimental impact to this neighbours amenity by way of loss of light, privacy or overbearing impact. The existing separation distance will be maintained, and the proposal does not seek to install any windows within the side elevation. The roof lights, due to the lean to roof pitches angle, would not give rise to overlooking. Neighbouring dwelling No.23 would be screened from the proposal by existing built form.
The proposal does not propose to increase the number of bedrooms, and as such the parking arrangements remain unchanged.
It is considered the proposal would be in accordance with Policy HQ1, T2 and T3 of the CBLP (2021), Section 12 of the NPPF (2023) and the 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.
