Informative Notes:
1 )Reasons for granting The application site is 105 Manor Road, Caddington. The host dwelling is a detached dwelling constructed of brickwork with a tiled roof. As part of the previous planning application, under planning reference: CB/24/01616/FULL, planning permission was granted for front, side and rear extension with loft conversion with rear dormer and various rooflights. As part of this application, the proposal seeks to replace the front rooflight with a front dormer. The proposed dormer would be visible within the public realm with views along Manor Road. Due to the modest nature of the front dormer and that it would have a similar scale and design to the rear dormer granted as part of the previous planning reference: CB/24/01616/FULL as well as the front dormer being well-contained within the roofslope, it is considered that the front dormer would be considered a proportionate addition to the dwelling. Therefore, it is not considered that the proposal would give rise to a detrimental impact to the character and appearance of the area. In terms of impact on neighbouring amenity, due to the scale and nature of the proposed dormer to the principal roofslope in that it would involve the creation of limited built form and will look out onto the public realm, the front dormer would not give rise to a loss of residential amenity with any neighbouring dwelling by way of overbearingness, loss of light, or loss of privacy. As such, it is not considered that the proposal would have an adverse impact in regard to neighbouring amenity. It is therefore considered that the proposal as a whole would not result in any material impact on the residential amenities of any neighbouring properties and would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area. The proposal is therefore considered to be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan. Caddington Parish Council were consulted on the application and raised no objection to the proposed development. 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 (2021) and Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide (2023) and Section 12 of the NPPF.Reasons for granting The application site is 105 Manor Road, Caddington.

6 )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.
