)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a two storey semi-detached dwelling located on Mead End in Biggleswade. The proposal consists of the erection of a single storey front, rear and side extension with rooflights following demolition of an existing garage and conservatory.
The proposal would measure 2.8 metres in depth from the front elevation and 7.1 metres in width at the front. The depth from the rear elevation would be 2.5 metres, with a width of 7.4 metres. There would be a total depth of 13.4 metres along the side elevation, and would have a height to the eaves of 2.2 meters with a maximum height of 3.5 metres.
Due to the siting, the proposed extension would be visible within the street scene. There are existing examples of front and side extensions in Mead End. It would replace the existing flat roofed, built form to the side and rear, and therefore the additional built form would be to the front. On the basis of its design and scale, the proposal would form an appropriate 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, the proposal would be sited 2.8 metres from the boundary of neighbouring dwelling No.128 Mead End. The proposal would comply with the 45 degree rule of light and therefore this neighbouring dwelling is unlikely to be detrimentally impacted. No.124 Mead End is sited to the rear of the application site and separated by 6 metres due to scale and distance would it would be unlikely for impact to occur from the proposal. All other neighbouring dwellings are sufficiently separated and/or screened from the proposal and would therefore not be detrimentally impacted.
The proposal would include demolition of the existing garage, however a single garage is not deemed to be a parking space according to the Parking Standards SPD. The front extension would affect the existing parking arrangements, however the property would be required to provide two off-street parking spaces and this could still be achieved at the site.
Biggleswade Town Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection. The Tree Officer also had no objection. 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.
