)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a two storey detached dwelling located on a corner plot on Camberton Road in Linslade. The proposal consists of a single storey side extension measuring a width of 7.9m, a depth of 2.9m from the rear wall, and a mono pitched roof measuring 2.4m at the eaves and 3.4m at the highest point. Additionally, the proposal would remove an existing brick wall from the site to allow for this extension to be built.
Due to the nature of the proposal as a corner plot, the side extension would be a highly visible addition to the streetscene. However, due to the modest size and scale of the proposal it is not considered that the side extension would be visually obtrusive within the surrounding area. Furthermore, built form to the side elevation is noted on other properties within the vicinity of the application site, which would therefore demonstrate that the proposal would not be at odds with the existing grain and pattern of development. Therefore, the proposal would not lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding streetscene.
As the proposal faces onto the public highway of Camberton Road, it would remain sufficiently separated from the adjacent neighbouring properties. Therefore, the proposal is not expected to lead to any loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact on any adjoining neighbours.
It is noted that the wall proposed to be removed from the site may have been the original boundary of the plot, however the proposal is enclosed by mature landscaping, and as such the proposal is considered to be adequately enclosed from the public highway.
The proposal would not lead to any additional bedrooms on the application site and would not have an impact on the current parking provision. Therefore, the proposal is considered to be in conformity with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
Furthermore, as the proposal is located within close proximity to several mature trees, an aboricultural impact assessment and Tree Protection Plan have been submitted by the agent within this application. A Tree and Landscape Officer was further consulted, who have accepted the findings of the submitted report. Several conditions have been raised by the Tree and Landscape Officer to ensure the implementation of the Tree Protection Plan and its findings, and these conditions have been attached to the decision notice with the consent of the applicant.
Leighton-Linslade Town Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection. This application was also subject to a public and neighbour consultation and no representations were received.
Given the siting, design and scale of the proposal it is considered that the proposal would not lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, and also would not impact the residential amenities of the surrounding properties. The proposal is therefore in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.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.
