)Reasons for granting:
The application site is a semi-detached property located on Kent Road, Houghton Regis. The proposal is for single storey rear extension. The rear extension would have a depth of 3.6m, a width of 4m and a flat roof height of 3m.
The proposed extension would be shielded by the existing dwelling and would not be visible to the street scene furthermore, the proposed extension would be considered subservient in scale and design to the existing dwelling.
In terms of neighbouring amenity, the single storey rear extension is set on the boundary with No.18 Kent Road. The rear extension would have a limited impact to loss of light to this neighbouring property's rear elevation. However given the existing outbuilding located on the neighbouring property screening the majority of the proposed built form and the proposal's single storey nature this would not be considered so significant to warrant a reason for refusal. Whilst there would be an increase in built form on the application site, it is not considered the proposal would result in any loss of privacy or overbearing impact to this neighbour. All other properties are sufficiently separated from the application dwelling to ensure no impact would arise from the development.
On the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate parking has been retained. The proposal does not create any additional bedrooms and as such will not be required to demonstrate further onsite parking.
The application was subject to public consultation, and no comments were received, the Town Council raise no objections.
It is considered that the proposal will be in accordance with Section 12 of the NPPF, Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Parking Standards in new development SPD 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.
