)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a two-storey detached dwelling located on Sun Street in Biggleswade. The proposal consists of a first floor extension to the rear and side of the dwelling. The proposal would measure 3.2 meters in width, 4 meters in depth and would have a height to the eaves of 2.2 meters and a maximum height of 3.7 metres. The extension would require two new windows to be installed in the rear elevation.
The single storey rear extension would be visible within the street scene. On the basis of its design and scale, the proposal would form a subservient and modest addition to the existing dwellinghouse and would not be deemed to have any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
In terms of neighbouring amenity, No.25 Sun Street would be screened by the existing built form. No.17 to 19 Vickers Close to the east of the site would be screened by boundary treatment and separated by some 24 metres. As such, these neighbouring dwellings are unlikely to be impacted by the proposed extension in terms of loss of privacy, loss of light and overbearing impact.
The proposal would include two additional windows in the North elevation towards No.1 Fairfield Road, and would be sited approximately 14 metres from this dwelling (side to rear relationship). Due to the separation distance and partial screening from the built form of the garage, the proposal is unlikely to result in a loss of privacy to this neighbouring dwelling. In addition, clear glazed windows within the rear wall of the original dwelling would be permitted development.
The proposal would increase the number of bedrooms from three to four. According to the Parking Standards SPD, the property would require three off-street parking spaces. This could be achieved at the application site to the rear of the property from Fairfield Road, and includes the double garage as a single parking space.
Biggleswade Town Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection. The Archaeology team had 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, Policy BPD3 of the Biggleswade Neighbourhood Plan (2022), 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.
