)Reasons for Granting:
The proposal seeks planning permission to demolish a conservatory and replace with single storey side & rear extensions, internal alterations, new porch, partial demolition of garage, removal of chimney, new pitched roof to remaining garage, partial removal of side store, new obscured window to north side elevation and addition of smooth float render to front elevation of host dwelling.
The application site comprises a detached bungalow located along Moor Lane, in Maulden. The surrounding area is residential in nature, characterised with dwellings of a varied design and scale.
The proposed single storey side and rear extension, which would replace the existing conservatory (to be demolished), would form a modest and proportionate addition to the dwelling that would be sited in a similar, however slightly larger/ deeper footprint when compared to the existing built form it would replace. This extension would be set down from the ridgeline of the host dwelling and would have a gable roof, respectful of the existing built form. In addition, this aspect of the proposal would be mostly screened by the built form of the garage at the site and therefore, considering the above, would not give rise to any adverse impact on the character and appearance of the area. In regard to the proposed partial demolition of the garage and new pitched roof to the remaining garage, this aspect of the proposal would be readily visible within the streetscene, by virtue of the existing garage's siting to the front of the existing dwelling. These proposed works would see the reduction in the footprint and would add a pitched roof to the existing garage, in keeping with roof designs of buildings in the local area, thereby forming a positive alteration to this existing built form. Considering this, this aspect of the proposal would form an appropriate alteration/ addition at the application site, which would not be deemed to result in any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
The proposed internal alterations, new porch, removal of chimney, partial removal of side store, new obscured window to north side elevation and addition of smooth float render to the front elevation, would all form small scale, sympathetic additions/ alterations to the host dwelling. By virtue of their modest nature and small scale, these aspects of the proposal would not give rise to any adverse impact on the character and appearance of the area.
As regards neighbouring amenity, the proposed single storey side and rear extension, which would replace the existing conservatory (to be demolished), would be sited adjacent to neighbouring dwelling No. 11 Moor Lane. This aspect of the proposal would increase the depth and height of built form along this boundary. However, this proposed extension would retain an appropriate separation from the shared boundary of at least 1.2 metres (approx.) at its closest point. By virtue of this separation from the boundary, the siting of the extension adjacent to the side elevation of this neighbouring dwelling and the extension's modest scale, design and height of its dual-pitched roof (which pitches away from No. 11); no detrimental overbearing impact, loss of outlook or loss of light would be deemed to arise. In addition, no windows are sited as to where there would be any adverse loss of privacy. Moreover, the proposed partial demolition of the garage and new pitched roof to the remaining garage would be sited immediately adjacent to the shared boundary with this neighbouring dwelling, sited to the front of this property. Due to the detached nature of No. 11, the proposal remains appropriately separated from the built form of this neighbouring dwelling. On this basis and due to the siting of the garage to the front of the site, adjacent to the driveway of No. 11, whilst the addition of a pitched roof would increase the height of the existing built form, this aspect of the proposal would not be considered to give rise to any detrimental loss of outlook, overbearing impact or loss of light to this neighbouring dwelling, which would warrant a reason for the refusal of this application on this basis. All other neighbouring dwellings are sufficiently separated and/ or screened from these aspects of the proposal as to where they would not be detrimentally impacted.
The proposed internal alterations, new porch, removal of chimney, partial removal of side store, new obscured window to north side elevation and addition of smooth float render to the front elevation, by virtue of their small scale and very nature; would not be considered to give rise to any detrimental overbearing impact, loss of light, or loss of privacy to any neighbouring dwelling.
The proposals would not adversely affect the existing parking or access arrangements at the application site. In addition, adequate parking is deemed achievable on the existing driveway.
Neighbouring properties and the Parish Council have been consulted on this application. The Parish Council raised no objection and no comments were received in the form of public representations.
Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, the Maulden Neighbourhood Plan, the Parking Standards for New Development SPD and Section 12 of 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.
