)Reasons for Granting:
The proposal seeks retrospective planning permission for the construction of a single storey garage to be used for purposes ancillary to the host dwelling.
The application site comprises a semi-detached dwellinghouse known as Number 16 Welsting Gardens (formerly Plot 97), Meppershall, SG17 5YJ.
The garages are set back to the rear of the dwellinghouse and appear subservient in scale and massing to the host dwelling. The development has not resulted in a loss of car parking spaces serving the host property.
It is considered that the garage building does not appear overly prominent from public viewpoints, and has been finished in materials complementary to the character of the area and host property.
As such the development has not resulted in any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
The garage features an appropriate separation from the boundaries of neighbouring properties, and when considering the location and scale of the development in relation to the location of neighbouring dwellings, it is considered that the proposed development does not result in unacceptable impacts in relation to loss of light, outlook or overbearing impacts on neighbouring properties. Furthermore when considering the location of fenestration, it is considered that the development does not cause any unacceptable loss of privacy to neighbouring dwellings. Based on these factors, the proposed extension would not result in any detrimental impact on the residential amenity of occupants of any neighbouring dwelling.
Neighbouring properties and the Parish Council have been consulted on this application. However, no comments/ representations were received.
Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, the Parking Standards for New Development SPD and Sections 2, 9 and 12 of the NPPF.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.
