)Reasons for Granting:
This application seeks planning permission to apply off-white external sand cement render to the four external elevations of the house to match the recently consented rear extension.
The application site comprises a two-storey, detached dwellinghouse located along Chase Close, in Arlesey. The surrounding area is residential in nature, mostly characterised with semi-detached dwellings of either a 'chalet' design, or a more 'traditional' two-storey design. The host dwelling, in its detached nature, differs in its design and appearance with the general character of dwellings within the streetscene and surrounding area.
The proposal seeks the addition of off-white external render to all external elevations of the host dwellinghouse, similar to the finish of the previously approved rear extension (application reference: CB/24/02333/FULL). Dwellings in the surrounding area are generally uniform in their appearance, predominantly constructed with brickwork and finished with small areas of cladding. The proposed addition of off-white render to the dwelling would not particularly accord with the use of materials within the streetscene. However, the host dwelling differs in its design and appearance to other dwellinghouses within the streetscene, which would be considered to afford some flexibility as regards the alteration of the appearance of this dwelling, with specific regard to the use of materials. In addition to this, the host dwelling is set back from the highway, in a corner along Chase Close. Considering the above, on balance, the proposed addition of off-white render to the dwelling would not be considered to give rise to any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area. The alteration sought to the ground floor window on the front elevation, due to its minor scale, would also be deemed acceptable.
On the basis of the minor nature of the proposal, no detrimental impact upon neighbouring dwellings would arise, by way of any overbearing impact, loss of light or loss of privacy. The proposed alterations to the ground floor window to the front elevation would form a minor alteration which also would not result in any adverse impact on neighbouring properties.
The proposal would not affect the existing parking or access arrangements at the site and would therefore be acceptable on a like-for-like basis.
Neighbouring properties and the Town Council have been consulted on this application. The Town Council raised no objection and 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 Development SPD, Section 12 of the NPPF and the Arlesey Neighbourhood Plan (2016).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.
