)Reasons for Granting:
The proposal seeks planning permission for the erection of a single storey rear extension with a rooflight.
The application site comprises a two-storey, terraced dwellinghouse located along Highbush Road in Stotfold. The surrounding area is residential in nature, characterised with dwellings of a similar design and scale. The proposal would be sited to the rear of the host dwelling and would not be visible to the public realm. In addition, the extension would be modest in its scale and design, and would form a proportionate and sympathetic addition to the dwellinghouse, which would not have any adverse impact upon the character and appearance of the area.
As regards neighbouring amenity, the proposed extension would be well-separated from neighbouring dwelling No. 18 Highbush Road, separated by approximately 3.4 metres. Considering this separation, together with the modest scale and design of the proposal; there would be no detrimental overbearing impact or loss of light to this neighbouring dwelling. The proposal would be sited immediately adjacent to the shared boundary with No. 22 Highbush Road, at a depth of 3.5 metres with a total height of 3.5 metres and an eaves height of 2.4 metres. An obscure-glazed door is located adjacent to the boundary, which appears to serve the rear access for this neighbouring property. Clear-glazed doors are further separated from the boundary and proposal. Considering this, the proposed extension would comply with the vertical 45 degree rule of light in relation to clear-glazed fenestration (which serve habitable rooms) adjacent to the boundary. As such, the proposal, due to its separation from clear-glazed fenestration belonging to No. 22 and by virtue of its modest scale, design and eaves height; no detrimental loss of light or overbearing impact would be deemed to arise. In addition, no fenestration is sited as to where there would be any adverse loss of privacy. All other neighbouring dwellings would be sufficiently separated and/ or screened from the proposal as to where they would not be adversely impacted.
The proposal would not adversely affect the existing parking or access arrangements at the site and would therefore be acceptable on a like-for-like basis.
Neighbouring properties and the Town Council have been consulted on this application. The Town Council did not comment and no comments were received in the form of public representations.
Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, the Parking Standards for New Developments SPD 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.
