)Reasons for granting:
The application seeks planning permission for single storey side and rear extensions. The proposal initially featured an annexe and beauty room within the proposed plans, however following concerns regarding insufficient parking to accommodate this, these features have been omitted from the proposal.
The rear extension would not be visible to the street scene as it would be fully screened by the proposed side extension included in this application. It is considered that, the scale and design would remain proportionate to the property and will be in keeping with the local area. The single storey side extension, due to the position of the dwelling would be partly visible from Brookes Road, although visible, it is considered that it would not have a negative impact upon the character and appearance of the area. This is due to the scale and design of this element of the proposed extension being proportionate to the host dwelling.
The proposed rear extension would be set 0.1m off the boundary with No.3 Brookes Road. The proposal would cause some loss of light to this neighbouring property's ground floor window which serves a living room. This room is served by windows to the front elevation which are not obstructed and as such, would have adequate access to light from the front elevation. Furthermore, given the window's proximity to the boundary it is considered that a similar extension of 3 metres in depth could be constructed without the need for planning permission and would have a similar effect on this property. Due to the secondary source of light, it is not considered that the proposal would have a signficant impact on this neighbouring property's amenity. All other neighbouring dwellings are sufficiently separated or screened from the proposals and would not be detrimentally impacted.
The proposal would not be increasing the number of bedrooms at the property, nor would it affect the existing parking arrangements. As such, the proposal is not considered to cause a detrimental impact to the highway.
It is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Section 12 of the NPPF, Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Parking Standards in new development SPD 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.
