)Reasons for granting:
The application site is a semi-detached two storey dwelling located on the southern side of Worthington Road, Dunstable. No. 49 is constructed of brickwork with a tiled pitched roof and is surrounded by properties similar in design and scale. Planning permission is sought for the erection of a single storey front, side and rear extension, the proposed extension would have an approximate depth of 12.5 metres, a width of 8 metres, an eaves height of 2.6 metres and a maximum height of 3.6 metres.
The proposed development would wrap around the side and rear of the dwelling and as such it would be visible within the streetscene, however, due to its appropriate scale and design as well as similar extensions within the immediate vicinity it is not considered that the proposal would result in harm to the host dwelling or to the wider character of the area.
In terms of impact on neighbouring amenity, the proposed development due to its siting and design would form an L-shape along the shared boundary with No. 47. The proposal would be sufficiently set off the shared boundary with No. 47. Additionally, the proposal would be sited adjacent to the shared boundary with neighbouring property No. 51, with a projection along this common boundary of a modest 3m. As such, it is not considered that the proposal would give rise to overbearingness, loss of light, loss of outlook, overlooking or loss of privacy concerns to neighbouring occupiers.
The application site is located within the Chilterns Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation (SAC). However, as no additional residential units are proposed, the proposal is not considered to have a detrimental impact upon the SAC.
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.
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, 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:

)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.
