)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a two-storey, detached dwelling located on Brickhill Close in Blunham. The proposal is for a single storey front extension, which would be an extension to the existing front projection. The proposed extension would have a depth of 1.1 metres, a width of 1.1 metres, a height to the eaves of 2.5 metres and a maximum roof height of 3.6 metres.
The proposed extension is set to the front of the property and therefore it would be visible in the streetscene. It is considered that the scale and design would be a modest addition to the dwellinghouse. As such, the proposal is deemed to echo the style of the dwellinghouse and would not result in any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
Given consideration to the sufficient separation distance between the application site and neighbouring dwellings, the proposed extension would be unlikely to lead to a loss of privacy, loss of light or overbearing impact. The proposal would not adversely affect the existing parking or access arrangements at the site.
Blunham Parish Council were consulted on the application and raised no objections. The Archaeology team also raised no comment. 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, 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.
