)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a semi detached bungalow located on Manor Road in Caddington. The proposal consists of a single storey rear extension measuring a width of 8.7m, and a depth of 3.3m. The roof of the proposal would contain a partial flat element with a height of 2.45m, and a partial pitched roof with an eaves height matching the flat roof height and a highest point of 3.8m. The pitched roof element would also contain two rooflights on the roofslope. A front porch is also proposed, measuring a width of 1.8m, a depth of 1.7m and a flat roof measuring a height of 2.4m.
The proposed rear extension would not be visible to Manor Road, however the front porch would create a visible addition to the streetscene, and would extend forward of the principal elevation. This front porch would remain set back from the public highway, and is not considered to 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 area.
The proposal would be built close to the boundary with the adjacent attached neighbour (62 Manor Road). It is noted that this adjacent property has previously benefited from a rear conservatory which extends a similar depth to this proposed rear extension. Therefore, the proposal would not lead to a loss of privacy or overlooking impact on this adjacent neighbour. It is noted that the proposal would partially obscure the glass panelling on the flank of the neighbouring rear extension, however the light would remain unaffected due to the transparent nature of the conservatory.
The proposal would remain set away from the boundary with the other adjacent neighbour (66 Manor Road). It is noted that due to internal alterations within the host dwelling, a ground floor bedroom with a side window facing towards this adjacent neighbour. It is considered that at ground floor level, with existing boundary treatment, the adjacent dwelling would not experience an unacceptable loss of privacy from the alteration. It is considered that the existing boundary treatment, combined with the scale of the proposal and distance from the boundaries of the site, would ensure a satisfactory neighbouring relationship would be maintained.
All other properties remain sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impact.
The proposal would not lead to the creation of any additional bedrooms, and thus would retain adequate parking provision on the application site. Therefore the proposal is considered to be in conformity with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
Caddington Parish Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection. This proposal 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 not considered that this proposal would lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. Furthermore, the proposal would not lead to any further detrimental impacts on the residential amenities of neighboring properties. 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 Caddington and Slip End Neighbourhood Plan (2016-2031).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.
