)Reasons for granting:
Planning permission is sought for the demolition of existing porch and replacing with new enlarged porch. The host dwelling is a semi-detached property and is surrounded by dwellings that vary in scale and design.
The proposal would be readily visible within the street scene with views along Church Road. The proposal including the roof projection would have an overall depth of some 2.5 and it would have a pitched roof that would resemble with the existing architectural features of the host dwelling. Given the design and siting of the enlarged porch it is not considered that it would have a material impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and would remain appropriate in scale and design to the host dwelling.
In terms of neighbouring impact, the proposed enlarged front porch extension would be adequately separated from the shared boundary with No. 1 Stanley Close by some 8.5 metres. In addition, due to the stagger between the host dwelling and No. 1 in that this neighbouring property is set forward it is considered that the proposal would not give rise to overbearingness, loss of light, overlooking, loss of privacy or loss of outlook concerns. No. 76 Church Road would be separated from the proposal by some 2.7 metres. Therefore, given the separation distance from this neighbour shared boundary, it is not considered that it would have a material impact on the residential amenities of No. 76 Church Road.
The application was subject to public consultation and no representations have been received. The Parish Council were consulted on the application and raised no objection.
In light of the above, the proposal is considered to be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, the Design Guide for Central Bedfordshire and the 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.
