Informative Notes:
1 )Reasons for Granting: The application site is a 2.5-storey detached dwelling located on Meadow Walk in Henlow. The proposal consists a single storey rear extension and roof alteration to the existing extension, including roof lanterns and fenestration changes. The proposed extension would be of an infill nature and measure 6.8 metres in width to the widest part, 2.7 metres in depth, a flat roof height of 2.8 metres, and a maximum height of 3.4 metres to the roof lanterns. The proposal is located on a cul-de-sac, surrounded by several properties finished with complementary materials. The host dwelling is noted to be of a larger size than the surrounding properties, and has benefited from previous extensions to the front, side and rear. The proposal would not be visible to the streetscene. The proposed extension would be built in-line with an existing rear protrusion and include alterations to the roof of the existing rear extension to create a singular rear elevation, which would be finished with render. As such, the proposal would be a modest addition and unlikely to have any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area or the host dwelling. Due to sufficient separation distance, boundary treatment and existing built form, the proposal would not result in any loss of light, loss of privacy or give rise to any overbearing impact to any neighbouring properties. The proposal would not adversely affect the existing parking or access arrangements at the application site and would therefore be acceptable on a like-for-like basis. The planning history of the site has been considered. Henlow Parish Council were consulted on this application and had no objections. The Tree Officer was also consulted and had no objections. 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: The application site is a 2.5-storey detached dwelling located on Meadow Walk in Henlow.

5 )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.
