)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a 1.5-storey detached dwelling located on High Street in Lidlington. The proposal consists of the erection of a single storey extension to the rear of the dwelling and altered entrance glazing and installation of a canopy at front. The rear extension features a stepped design and would measure 13.7 meters in width, 9 meters in depth at the deepest section and 2.9 metres at the shallowest and would have a flat roof with a height of 3.4 meters. A small section of the roof, with the parapet wall removed, would have a height of 2.8 metres, increasing with a rooflight to the total height of 3 meters. The front canopy would measure 1.4 metres in depth and 4.5 metres in width.
High Street is characterised by detached dwellings of varying scales and designs on large plots. The single storey rear extension would not be readily visible within the street scene, however the front canopy and glazing alterations would be visible. On the basis of its design and scale, the canopy and glazing would form a modest addition to the existing dwellinghouse and would not be deemed to have any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
In terms of neighbouring amenity, Silver Birches is sited to the North of the proposal, at a lower ground level and would be separated by approximately 10 metres. Laurel Cottage is sited to the South of the proposal, at a higher ground level and would be separated from the proposal by approximately 10 metres. Both dwellings are sufficiently separated and screened by boundary treatment and built form and as such, unlikely to result in any loss of light, loss of privacy or give rise to an overbearing impact. All other properties are considered to be sufficiently separated and/or screened from the proposal and would not be detrimentally impacted.
The proposal would not adversely affect the existing parking or access arrangements at the application site and would therefore be acceptable on a like-for-like basis.
Lidlington Parish Council were consulted on this application and did not provide any comments. The Archaeology Team were consulted and provided no objections. The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received.
The Trees and Landscape Officer was consulted on the application and provided no objection. They noted that the proposed extension would remove some existing vegetation, however this would appear to be minor and the removal would not affect the overall area.
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.
