)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a two-storey terraced dwelling located on Auckland Road in Biggleswade. The proposal consists of a single storey extension to the rear of the dwelling. The extension would project 4.5 metres from the rear elevation, have a width of 7.5 metres, and a maximum height of 3.76 metres, with an eaves height of 2.92 metres from ground level. The pitched roof would feature two grey aluminium rooflights.
The single storey rear extension would not be readily visible within the street scene. On the basis of its design and scale, the proposal would form a proportionate addition to the existing dwellinghouse that would not be deemed to have any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
In terms of neighbouring amenity, the proposal would be sited adjacent to neighbouring dwellings Nos. 11 and 15 Auckland Road. Using the 45 degree rule of light, the proposed extension would likely result in some loss of light to the nearest windows of both neighbouring dwellings. It is considered that due to the siting of both properties with the rear elevations facing west, daylight and sunlight levels are unlikely to be detrimentally affected. Due to the single storey design, no overbearing impact on these neighbouring dwellings would arise.
The proposal would not adversely affect the existing parking or access arrangements at the application site and would therefore be acceptable on a like-for-like basis.
Biggleswade Town Council were consulted on this application and raised no objections. 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, Policy BPD3 of the Biggleswade Neighbourhood Plan, Section 11 of Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, Parking Standards for New Developments SPD and Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (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.
