)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a detached dwelling located on Byron Crescent in Flitwick. The proposal is for a single storey front extension. The front extension would have a depth of 1.3 metres, a width of 3.4 metres and a height to the eaves of 2.3 metres with a maximum roof height of 3.1 metres.
The proposed extension is set to the front of the property and would extend beyond the principal elevation. It would therefore be visible to the streetscene. There are existing examples of front extensions in Byron Crescent and the surrounding streets and due to this, it is considered that the proposal would be in keeping with the local area, and the scale and design would remain proportionate to the property. Overall, the proposed development is not considered to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
The front extension is sufficiently separated from other neighbouring dwellings and unlikely to lead to significant impact upon the neighbouring amenities. Most notably, No.8 Byron Crescent would be screened by the existing built form of the application site and No.1 Keats Road would be sufficiently separated by some 11.5 metres.
The proposal would not adversely affect the existing parking or access arrangements at the application site and would therefore be acceptable on a like-for-like basis.
Flitwick Town Council were consulted on the application and raised no objections. The Rights of Way Officer was also consulted on this application and they raised no objection, due to the public bridleway running to the rear of the dwelling.
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, Parking Standards for New Developments SPD 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.
