)Reasons for granting:
The host dwelling is a detached property within the The Comp in Eaton Bray, whilst the Green Belt boundary wraps around the rear of the garden; the dwelling and rear garden are not within the Green Belt. The application seeks planning permission for a single storey rear extension. The proposed rear extension would have a depth of 2.3m, a width of 4.3m and a pitched roof height of 3.74m.
The proposed extension would be to the rear and would be shielded from public vantage points from the street by the existing dwelling. However, views would be possible from the surrounding countryside. The proposed extension would be considered subservient in scale and design to the existing dwelling. The proposed rooflights would be considered small and modest in scale and would not be considered to result in harm to the character and appearance of the area.
Given the siting of the proposed rear extension it is considered that the proposal would be sufficiently separated from neighbouring properties and would not have a detrimental impact on residential amenity.
On the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate parking has been retained. The proposal does not create any additional bedrooms and as such will not be required to demonstrate further onsite parking.
The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received, the Parish Council 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:

)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.
