)Reasons for granting:
This application seeks planning permission for the demolition of garages, redevelopment of dwelling, alterations to materials, increase to ridge height and insertion of rooflight, erection of single storey front extension, first floor front gable ends, two storey side and rear extension with first floor Juliet balcony and single storey rear extension.
A previous application at the site (reference: CB/24/03186/FULL) sought a similar scheme when compared to this current application, and was subsequently approved. The principle of the approved extensions are therefore found to be acceptable. The scheme sought under this current application seeks a similar scheme to this previous approval, however, seeks to extend the depth and height of the existing dwelling itself, thereby also increasing the ridge height of the dwellinghouse.
The application site comprises a two-storey detached dwelling, located along Shefford Road, in Clifton. The surrounding area is residential in nature and dwellings on the southern side of Shefford Road in proximity of (and including) the application site are well set-back from the highway.
The proposals would see the total redevelopment of the frontage of the dwelling and would change the style and design of the property. This also includes alterations to the external materials of the dwelling. This has been previously approved under (reference: CB/24/03186/FULL). The proposal seeks to extend the depth and height of the existing dwelling itself, thereby also increasing the ridge height of the dwellinghouse, which would be visible from within the streetscene. Whilst the proposal would increase the height and scale of the dwelling at the site, on the basis of the varied development in the surrounding area and with consideration of the small increase in scale above the previous approval at the site (reference: CB/24/03186/FULL); the proposals would not be deemed to result in any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
As regards neighbouring amenity, the previous similar scheme at the application site (reference: CB/24/03186/FULL) was not deemed to result in any detrimental impact on neighbouring amenity, by way of an overbearing impact, loss of light or loss of outlook.
The height of the dwelling would increase (when compared to the previous approval at the site) adjacent to neighbouring dwelling No. 41 Shefford Road. However, on the basis of the detached nature of the dwelling and separation of built form from No. 41, in addition to the small increase in scale above the previous approval; this alteration would not be considered to give rise to any detrimental loss of outlook, overbearing impact or loss of light to No. 41. Two first-floor windows are located on the side elevation of the dwelling, facing this neighbouring dwelling serving bathrooms. A condition would be included to ensure these are obscure-glazed.
The two storey and single storey built form of the dwelling and proposed single storey extension adjacent to neighbouring dwelling No. 53 Shefford Road would increase in depth (when compared to the previous approval at the site) but would retain an appropriate separation from the boundary and from the built form of this neighbouring dwelling itself (due to its detached nature). The total depth of two storey built form adjacent to No. 53 would increase by approximately 1.8 metres. In addition, the built form of the dwelling would increase from a total height of 8.1 metres, to a total height of 8.7 metres. Whilst the depth and height of built form would increase in close proximity to this neighbouring dwelling, the increase would not be deemed significant as to where any detrimental impact on the residential amenity of occupants of this neighbouring dwelling, by way of an overbearing impact, loss of light or loss of outlook would be deemed to arise. In addition, the two windows located on the side elevation of the two storey rear extension, at the first floor level, facing this neighbouring dwelling are well-separated from No. 53 and would provide an outlook towards the built form of the neighbouring dwelling, and not its private amenity space. As such, these are deemed acceptable.
The proposal would benefit from ample parking on the existing driveway, in accordance with the requirements of the Council's Parking Standards for New Developments SPD.
Overall, and considering the above, the proposals are considered to be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and Section 12 of the 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.
