)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a two-storey detached dwelling located on Moor Lane in Flitwick. The proposal consists of the erection of a single storey extension to the rear of the dwelling. This would measure 4.8 meters in width, 1.7 meters in depth and have a height to the eaves of 2.4 meters, with a maximum height of 3 metres to the roof lantern. There would also be a high level window installed in the side elevation.
The proposed extension would be sited to the rear of the property and would not be visible to the streetscene. To the rear of the site is a belt of open space which has some mature trees and landscaping. There would be limited views of the development from this area. The proposed development is of a modest, single storey design which is proportionate to the original dwelling and would not be deemed to have any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
The proposal is sited approximately 4 metres from the shared boundary with neighbouring dwelling No.10 Moor Lane. The proposal would comply with the 45 degree rule of light and unlikely to result in loss of light to No.10. The proposed window in the side elevation facing towards No.10 would be 1.7 metres above floor level and sufficiently screened by boundary treatment and as such, would not result in any loss of privacy. All other neighbouring dwellings are sufficiently separated from the proposal.
The proposal would not adversely affect the existing parking or access arrangements at the application site and would therefore be acceptable on a like-for-like basis.
Flitwick Town Council were consulted on this application and raised no comments. 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, 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.
