)Reasons for granting:
The application seeks planning permission for the demolition and replacement of an existing outbuilding on similar footprint to include a double garage, carport and 2-storey storage. The proposal has been revised to omit an external staircase and a reduction in length of the outbuilding in order to prevent adverse harm to neighbouring amenities.
The proposed outbuilding would be visible within the street scene of Crane Way, however in terms of scale the proposal would replace an existing large outbuilding of similar scale and would retain matching materials and as such would not appear out character within the street scene, nor would dominate the existing dwelling. The single storey car port aspect of the outbuilding due to its siting would be the most prominent feature within the street scene, however due to its high quality design and re-use of existing materials, it is not considered to appear over dominant nor harmful to the character of the area. Due to the scale of the outbuilding, it is considered necessary to ensure the outbuilding remains incidental to the host dwelling to ensure it is not used for any other reason.
The proposed outbuilding at its closest point would be sited some 0.3 metres away from No.44 Crane Way. The proposal would be replacing an outbuilding of a similar footprint and scale, with the height of the outbuilding being reduced from 6.2 metres to 5.7 meters. No windows are proposed to face this neighbouring property and as such it is not considered that the proposal would have an adverse impact to this neighbouring property. The proposal would include two rooflights within the two storey aspect of the proposal, however these rooflights would be facing the main dwelling and as such it is not considered that the proposal would have any adverse impact in terms of privacy.
The proposal would not be creating any bedrooms and the existing garage, due to its size would not be considered to constitute a parking space. As such the proposal would not affect the existing parking arrangements, nor would it have an adverse impact on the highway.
It is considered that the proposal will be in accordance with Section 12 of the NPPF, Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Parking Standards in new development SPD and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.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.
