Informative Notes:
1 )Reasons for granting: The application site is a detached dwelling located on High Street, Greenfield. The proposal is for the erection of a car port extension to garage which would have a depth of 5.8m, a width of 5m and a pitched roof height of 5.2m. The detached garage is located to the rear of the property down a shared access with No.67a and No.67b High Street. Therefore the proposal would be partially visible to the streetscene. Although no other car ports are located within the vicinity of the application site, the proposed pitched roof would not be at odds with the grain and existing pattern of development. The car port would be finished in black horizontal cladding which is considered to be acceptable considering the rear siting of the extension. Therefore, the proposed car port is not considered to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the streetscene. The proposal would be set off the boundary with the adjacent neighbour (67B High Street). Whilst the proposal would protrude further than the existing built form given the separation distance to the dwelling it is not considered that this application would lead to any material impacts on the residential amenities of this neighbour. All other properties are considered to be sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impact. The proposed car port would be located over one of the parking spaces located to the rear elevation of the property. Given the size of the car port it is considered that this proposal would not impact the parking provision on the application site. The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received, the Tree and Landscape Officer raised no objections. It is considered that the proposal will be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Parking Standards in new development SPD, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and Section 12 of the NPPF.Reasons for granting: The application site is a detached dwelling located on High Street, Greenfield.

6 )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.
