)Reasons for granting:
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. 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 extension would be sited immediately adjacent the boundary of No.1 Linnet Close. The proposed 3m depth extension would have a limited impact to this neighbour in terms of loss of light, however due to the single storey design of the proposal and the limited projection of the proposal it 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. The single storey rear extension is set off the boundary with the neighbouring property No.5 Linnet Close. Whilst there would be an increase in built form on the application site, due to the separation distance with this neighbouring property and the orientation of the dwellings it is not considered the proposal would result in any loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact to this neighbour.
There is a new proposed window that is obscure glazed on the side elevation of the extension to the north of the property. This would face the side elevation of No.5 Linnet Close and would serve a non habitable room. Due to the window being at ground floor level, with existing boundary treatment, it would not result in additional overlooking or a loss of privacy for this neighbouring property.
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 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.
