)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a two-storey detached dwelling located in Wood End in Marston Moreteyne. The proposal seeks a part two storey, part single storey rear extension, a front porch/canopy and a single storey side extension glazed link between the main dwelling and the existing detached garage. This would require one of the two existing side dormer windows to be repositioned on the roof of the main dwelling. In addition, there would be fenestration alterations to the front of the dwelling, including a new rooflight and two storey bay window.
The proposed rear extension would be sited to the rear of the dwelling and would therefore not be visible to the streetscene. The proposed two-storey element has been set down from the roof ridge, to create a subservient addition to the main dwelling in accordance with the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide. It would measure approximately 8.8 metres in maximum depth, and 8.7 metres in width.
The link extension, front canopy, dormer window and fenestration changes would all be visible to the streetscene. There does not appear to be an established 'street scene', with sparsely spaced dwellings within large plots creating 'Wood End'. Whilst in a more urban area, side extensions of the proposed width of 11 metres are generally discouraged, the application site hosts a sufficiently sized dwelling on a large plot, and it is therefore considered that the glazed link would be subservient to the main dwelling. The other visible elements of the proposal are considered to be modest alterations and therefore the proposal as a whole is unlikely to result in any detrimental harm to the character and appearance of the area or the host dwelling.
Due to the sufficient separation distances between neighbouring dwellings, it is considered the proposal would not cause any detrimental harm on any neighbouring amenity.
The plans show the property would increase to six bedrooms and according to the Parking Standards SPD, this would require four off-street parking spaces. The application site benefits from a large driveway and parking area and therefore this requirement can be achieved at the site.
Marston Moreteyne Parish Council were consulted on this application and raised no objections. 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.
