)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a terraced dwelling located on Heath Road in Leighton Buzzard. The proposal consists of a single storey side and rear extension measuring a width of 2.3m, a depth of 4.4m and a mono pitched roof with an eaves height of 2.5m and a height point measuring 3.2m. Additionally, the proposal would also contain three rooflights set into the proposed roofslope, and a set of bi-fold doors.
The proposed extension would replace an existing conservatory, which has a larger footprint than the proposal, and extends beyond the rear wall of the dwellinghouse. The proposal would not project beyond the existing projecting rear building line.
The proposal would be located to the rear of the main dwellinghouse, and would not be readily visible in the streetscene of Heath Road. Therefore, it is considered that the introduction of this proposal would lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
The proposed side/rear extension would be marginally separated from the boundary with the adjacent neighbour (153 Heath Road). Given the proposed extension would replace the existing conservatory and have a smaller footprint, it is not considered that the proposal would have any greater impact on the residential amenities of this neighbour than the existing relationship.
Additionally, the proposal would be screened from the other adjacent neighbour (Tarxien, 151 Heath Road) by built form on the application site.
All other properties are considered sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impact.
It is therefore considered that there would be no detrimental impact on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties and would therefore be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
Furthermore, no additional bedrooms are proposed within this application, and the proposal would not impact the current parking provision on the site. Therefore, the proposal would provide adequate space for parking, and would be in conformity with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
Leighton-Linslade Town Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection. Additionally, the Council's Ecologist was also consulted, and similarly raised no objection.
This application was also subject to a public and neighbour consultation and no representations were received.
Given the siting, scale and design of the proposal it is considered that the proposal would not have any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, and additionally would not have any detrimental impact on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties. Therefore the proposal would be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and 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.
