)Reasons for granting
The application site is located at 20 Wingate drive, Ampthill. The host dwelling is a detached, two-storey dwelling, surrounded by residential properties of varying scale and design.
The proposed development includes a single-storey rear extension, a front extension, and the addition of a door located on the west side elevation of the property. The proposed rear extension would have a width of 6.4m, depth of 3m and a maximum height of 3.5m. The proposed front extension would have width of 2.5m, depth of 1.3m and a maximum height of 3.2m.
The proposed rear extension would be sited to the rear of the host dwelling. The proposal would be partially visible from the public foot path to the west side of the dwelling, with views along the green open space located to the west of the host dwelling. However, due to the appropriate scale and design of the single storey rear extension it is not considered to have a detrimental impact on the character or appearance of the dwelling or the surrounding area.
The proposed single storey front extension is readily visible within the street scene. 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.
In terms of impact on neighbouring amenities, No. 18 Wingate drive would be sited to the west of the host dwelling and the proposed rear extension would not protrude beyond the rear-built form of No.18 and in addition it would be set off the shared boundary with this neighbour by some 1.1 metres. Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would not result in a detrimental impact on the residential amenities of this neighbour. In terms of the front extension, No.18 would be screened by existing built form on the application site. Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would not result in a loss of light or an overbearing impact on the occupants at No. 18 Wingate drive.
All other neighbouring dwellings are sufficiently separated from the proposal, and as such, there will be no impact on these neighbours.
The application was subject to public consultation, and no representations were received. The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2, and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021), Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide (2023), and Section 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.
