)Reasons for Granting
The application site consists of a detached dwelling and its curtilage. The site is located at Brookside Bungalow, New Road, Maulden, MK45 2BG. To the east of the site is Brookside Farm. The proposal seeks a quadruple detached garage with first floor space for a study, with front facing dormers and an external stairway.
The proposal follows a similar scheme approved in 2018 under CB/18/01672/FULL for a triple bay garage, with front facing dormers, external stairway and first floor usable space. The proposal was however never implemented and has therefore lapsed. This application differs by way of a fourth bay to the garage, creating a larger building than previously approved. The application site is considered to be in a location of sparsely populated residential dwellings, farm land and industrial uses. The detached garage would be located infront of an existing barn, sufficiently set back from the highway and would therefore not be highly visible within the street scene. The proposed garage would be considered to partially screen the existing barn from the public highway due to its footprint and height. The garage would be constructed with an oak frame, timber featheredge cladding, timber doors and clay roof tiles to match the bungalow. It is considered the proposed development would be in-keeping with the main house and surrounding area, and would be a high quality addition.
The application site is adjacent to Brookside Farm. Due to the sufficient separation distance between the proposal and neighbouring dwellings, it is considered that the proposed development as a whole would not cause any harmful implications in relation to loss of light, outlook and privacy, nor is the development overbearing upon any neighbouring dwelling.
The proposal would utilise the existing site access from New Road, with the driveway being widened to provide access to the new carport. The existing driveway provides space for atleast three car parking spaces. The proposed car port would be able to provide 4 car parking spaces, sufficient for a 4 bedroom dwelling house in accordance with Parking Standards SPD (2023).
An archaeological WSI pre-commencement condition would be added to the permission, due to the presence of archaeological finds in the area. This condition is required to be pre-commencement to protect any potential archaeological remains prior to breaking ground.
Overall, the proposal would be considered in accordance with Policy HQ1, T2 and T3 of the CBLP (2023), Section 12 of the NPPF (2024), the CBDG (2023) and the Parking Standards SPD (2023).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.
