)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a two storey detached dwelling located on Wallace Drive in Eaton Bray. Eaton Bray is 'inset' within the South Bedfordshire Green Belt, but it not washed over.
The proposal consists of a rear and side extension, which would extend across the width of the dwellinghouse and would wrap around the side elevation of the property. The main dwellinghouse has previously benefited from rear and side single storey extension, and this application would infill the gaps between these extensions.
The rear element of the proposal would have a width of 8m, and would extend 2.3m further than the width of the main dwellinghouse. Additionally the proposal would extend 2m from the rear wall, and 2.2m from the side elevation. The proposal would contain a pitched roof which would measure an eaves height of 2.7m, and a highest point of 3.6m.
The proposed rear extension would not be visible from the streetscene of Wallace Drive. Furthermore the proposed side extension would be obscured by a forward protrusion on the main dwellinghouse, and thus the proposal would not create a visual intrusion within the streetscene.
Therefore, considering the modest scale and infill nature of the proposal, it is considered that this proposal would not lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
The proposed rear and side extensions would remain separated from the adjacent neighbour (30 Wallace Drive),with the rear element facing this neighbour already in situ on the site. Therefore no loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact would be expected from the introduction of this proposal.
The proposals would be within close proximity to the boundary with the other adjacent neighbour (3 Mill Tower), however existing built form already located along the boundary as well as notable boundary treatment, would negate any detrimental harm to the residential amenities of this adjacent neighbour.
All other properties are considered sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impacts.
The proposal would not lead to any additional bedrooms on the application site, and the existing parking provision would also not be altered by this application. Therefore, adequate parking provision has been maintained and the proposal is considered to be in conformity with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
As the proposal is located adjacent to a public bridleway, a Right of Way Officer was consulted on this application. The officer noted that the proposal should not have a significant impact on the public bridleway, and thus did not raise an objection to this proposal. Furthermore, a Tree and Landscape Officer was also consulted on this application and similarly raised no objection.
Eaton Bray Parish Council were also consulted on this application, and no comments were raised. A neighbour comment in support of the proposal was received, and has been noted within this application.
Given the siting, design and scale of the proposal it is considered that this application would not lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding streetscene, and furthermore not detrimental impacts on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties is expected from this application. The proposal is therefore considered to be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and the Eaton Bray Neighbourhood Plan (October 2019).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.
