)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a two-storey semi-detached dwelling located on Station Crescent in Lidlington. The proposal consists of the erection of a single storey extension to the side of the dwelling. This would measure 7.5 meters in width to the widest point, 8.4 meters in depth and a flat roof with a height of 3 meters.
The single storey extension would be an addition to an existing single storey extension, to create a ground floor bedroom, en-suite, dressing area and utility room. The extension increases the footprint of the original dwellinghouse by a substantial amount when combined with the existing extension, however due to the generous plot size and shape, and flat roof design of the proposal, it would be considered to remain subservient to the original dwellinghouse.
Station Crescent is characterised by two different styles of dwellings and has existing examples of side and rear extensions. Due to sufficient boundary treatment and the application site being set at a lower level than the highway, the single storey extension would not be readily visible within the street scene. As such, the proposal would not be deemed to have any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
On the basis of the siting of the proposal, the most potentially impacted neighbouring dwelling is deemed to be No.22 Station Crescent. The proposal would run 1.2 metres from the shared boundary for 7.2 metres, however this neighbouring dwelling would be separated approximately 5 metres from the proposal. The application site is slightly lower than No.22, which also benefits from a single storey side extension. Therefore, the proposal would be unlikely to result in any detrimental loss of light, loss of privacy or give rise to any overbearing impact. All other properties are considered to be sufficiently separated and/or screened from the proposal and would not be detrimentally impacted.
The proposal would increase the number of bedrooms, however this cluster of dwellings in Station Crescent does not to have existing off-street parking. Whilst the proposal would be considered contrary to the Parking Standards SPD, it is also considered that the proposal would not cause a significant highway safety issue.
Lidlington Parish Council were consulted on this application and did not provide any comments. The Ecology team were also consulted and provided no objection. The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received.
The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 11 of Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (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.
