)Reasons for Granting:
The proposal seeks planning permission for the demolition of a conservatory and garage and erection of a single storey side and rear extension, and front extension to create bay window/ porch. A similar scheme was previously approved under application reference: CB/24/02283/FULL, for a two storey side extension, single storey rear and front extensions. This current application seeks a similar, reduced scheme, with the removal of the first floor side extension to a ground floor side extension.
The application site comprises a two-storey, semi-detached dwelling, one of a pair fronting Chase Close, in Arlesey. The surrounding area is residential in nature, characterised with dwellings of a similar design and scale. Various extensions to the front, side and rear of dwellings are present in the streetscene.
The proposed single storey front extension is similar to that previously approved under application reference: CB/24/02283/FULL. As such, this aspect of the proposal is deemed acceptable. The proposed single storey rear and side extension is similar in its footprint to that previously approved under CB/24/02283/FULL, however, includes some small alterations to the proposed fenestration. In addition, the previously approved two storey side extension has been reduced to a single storey extension within this current application. Considering the previous approval and modest scale of the proposals, the extensions would not be considered to result in any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
As regards neighbouring amenity, the proposed single storey front extension was previously found not to result in any adverse harm, approved under application reference: CB/24/02283/FULL. As such, this is deemed acceptable under this application. The proposed single storey rear extension was previously found not to have a detrimental impact on neighbouring dwelling No. 1 Chase Close and has also since been reduced in its height. As such, this aspect of the proposal would be acceptable in this regard. The proposed single storey side extension, reduced from a two storey side extension under application reference: CB/24/02283/FULL; would be well-separated and/ or screened from neighbouring dwellings as to where there would not be deemed to be any detrimental impact.
The proposal would not increase the number of bedrooms within the host dwelling. In addition, the plans provided indicate 3 off-street parking spaces are achievable, and workable, to the front and side of the dwellinghouse at the site. As such, adequate parking has been retained.
Neighbouring properties and the Town Council have been consulted on this application. The Town Council raised no objection and no comments were received in the form of public representations.
Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, the Parking Standards for New Development SPD, Section 12 of the NPPF and the Arlesey Neighbourhood Plan.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.
