)Reasons for granting:
The application site is a semi-detached link attached property located on 13 Russell Way, Leighton Buzzard. The proposal is for a detached outbuilding which would have a depth of 3.2m, a width of 5.2m and a maximum roof height of 3m.
The proposed outbuilding would be set to the rear of the garden and so would not be readily visible within the street scene. It is considered proportionate in scale to the dwelling, and it is not considered to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area. The plans for the outbuilding have listed options for materials, all are considered to be acceptable considering the rear siting of the development.
In terms of neighbouring amenity, the outbuilding is set slightly off the boundary with No.15 Russell Way and No.63 Clipstone Crescent. Given the large seperation distance to the dwellings, siting, design and scale of development it is not considered that the proposal would have a determetial impact on the residential amenities of these neighbours.
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 Town Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection subject to the use of the proposed outbuilding remaining ancillary to the main dwelling house. The proposed use of the conversion would appear incidental to the main dwelling, nevertheless, in order to ensure the use is incidental to the dwellinghouse, this will be conditioned which will also make sure the outbuilding is not used for any other purpose.
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.
