)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a two storey semi detached dwelling located on Goldstone Crescent in Dunstable. The proposal consists of a single storey front porch, with a width of 2.8m, a depth of 2.7m and a mono pitched roof with a eaves height of 2.35m and a highest point of 3.5m. An existing flat roofed front porch is located on the application site, which would be removed.
The proposed front porch would be visible from the streetscene of Goldstone Road, but would remain set back from the public highway. The built form to the front of the property would be built in line with the principal elevation.
It is noted that many properties along Goldstone Crescent have benefited from single storey front extensions, and therefore it is considered that the proposal would not be at odds with the existing grain and pattern of development. Therefore, the proposal is not considered to have any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
The proposal would be obscured from the detached adjacent neighbour (44 Goldstone Crescent) by the bulk of the main dwellinghouse, with a forward gable projection of the host dwelling obscuring the proposed front porch. Therefore, is not considered that the proposal would lead to any detrimental impact on the residential amenities of this adjacent neighbour.
An existing front porch extension is located on the adjacent neighbours property (40 Goldstone Crescent), which measures the same width and depth as proposed. Therefore it is not considered that the introduction of this proposal would lead to any loss of light or loss of privacy to this adjacent neighbour.
Additionally, it is noted on the proposed plans show a pitched roof on the adjacent neighbouring property front extension. The neighbouring property currently has a flat roof front extension as existing.
All other properties are considered sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impact.
The proposal would not lead to the creation of any additional bedrooms, and would not impact the existing parking provision on site. Therefore adequate parking spaces have been retained, and the proposal is in conformity with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
Dunstable Town Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection. This application was also subject to a public and neighbour consultation, and no representations were received.
Given the siting, design and scale of the proposal it is considered that the proposal would not lead to any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, and would not have any detrimental impact on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties. The proposal is therefore considered to 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.
