)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a link terraced dwelling located on Briar Close in Ampthill. The proposal consists of the removal of a flat roofed garage roof and wrap around porch, with a pitched roof in the same positioning. The pitch would measure a height of 2.4m to the eaves, and 3.4m to the highest point. The proposal would not protrude further from the principal elevation than the existing built form.
The garage roof and porch would remain highly visible within the streetscene of Briar Close, however it is noted that several properties within the vicinity of the application site (notably 3, 4, and 6 Briar Close) all have pitched garage roofs and open canopy porches constructed from the principal elevation. Therefore it is not considered that the proposal would be at odds with the grain and pattern of development on the streetscene,and therefore would not have an impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
The proposal would replace existing built form to the front and side of the main dwellinghouse, and would not lead to additional built form on the application site. Therefore, the proposal would not encroach further towards the boundaries with the adjacent neighbours (3 and 7 Briar Close). All other properties are considered sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impact. `Therefore, the proposal would not lead to any loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact on the adjacent neighbouring properties.
The proposal would not lead to the creation of any additional bedrooms, or reduce the current parking provision on the application site. Therefore, adequate off-road parking has been maintained, and the proposal is considered to be in conformity with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
The application site is adjacent to the Ampthill Conservation Area. There are a number of trees located to the rear of the application site, within the Ampthill Conservation Area, and covered by TPO orders. Tree & Landscape and Ecology Officers were consulted on this application, with both raising no objection and noting that the proposal would be sufficiently separated from the TPO protected trees to the rear.
Ampthill Parish Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection. Additionally, this application was subject to a public an neighbour consultation and no representations were received.
Given the siting, design and scale 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 impacts on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties. The proposal is therefore 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.
