)Reasons for Granting:
The proposal seeks planning permission for a two storey side extension.
The application site comprises a two-storey, semi-detached dwellinghouse located within a cul-de-sac along Churchill Road in Barton-le-Clay. The surrounding area is mostly residential in nature, characterised with dwellings of a similar design and scale. The proposed side extension would have a width of some 2.3 metres and a depth of some 6.7 metres, with a pitched roof to match that of the existing dwelling. The proposal has been appropriately set back from the principal elevation, and appropriately set down from the ridgeline of the existing dwellinghouse. Whilst the proposal does not maintain a 1 metre separation distance from the common boundary, given the separation distance from the built form of the neighbouring properties located to the east of the application site it is considered the terracing effect would not apply within this context. Considering the above, the proposed side extension would appear as a proportionate and subservient addition to the dwelling, which would not give rise to any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
As regards to neighbouring amenity, neighbouring dwelling No. 2 Churchill Road would be screened from the proposal by the built form of the existing dwelling at the application site and would as such not be detrimentally impacted. Neighbouring dwellings to the east (Numbers: 66a, 66, 68, 70, 72 and 74 Stuart Road) would be sufficiently separated from the proposed side extension as to where it is considered that no detrimental overbearing impact, loss of privacy, loss of light or overlooking concerns would be deemed to arise. Neighbouring dwelling No. 150 Norman Road would be sited to the side / rear of the application site and would be sufficiently separated from the proposal by some 10.06 metres from the shared side / rear boundary and there would be a further separation of some 20.3 metres from the nearest built form of this neighbour. Moreover, the proposed rear window would provide a similar view to that of the existing fenestration on the rear elevation of the dwelling and would therefore not give rise to any further overlooking impacts.
In terms of parking and access, on the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate parking is achievable and has been retained. The proposal would not appear to increase the bedrooms within the dwelling at the application site, and therefore would be acceptable on a like-for-like basis.
Neighbouring properties and Barton-le-Clay Parish Council have been consulted on this application. The Parish Council raised no comments. No comments were received in the form of public representations.
Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, the Parking Standards for New Developments SPD 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.
