)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a two storey semi-detached dwelling located on Church Street in Langford. The proposal consists of the erection of a two-storey rear extension following demolition of an existing conservatory.
The proposal would measure 4.1 meters in width, 3.5 meters in depth and would have a height to the eaves of 5.3 meters and a maximum height of 6.8 metres.
The proposed extension would not be visible within the street scene. Nearby dwelling No.31 Church Street sites an existing example of a similar extension. On the basis of its design and scale, the proposal would form a proportionate addition to the existing dwellinghouse and would not be deemed to have any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area or the original dwelling.
In terms of neighbouring amenity, the proposal would be sited 1.6 metres from the shared boundary of neighbouring dwelling No.33 Church Street. Due to existing single-storey extensions of both dwellings, the proposal is unlikely to result in any significant change in light to the nearest ground floor level window of No.33. The proposal would comply with the 45 degree rule of light to the nearest first floor window of No.33, as shown on drawing number D03 Rev 02, and therefore would not result in a significant loss of light, outlook or cause an overbearing impact. The proposal includes the installation of a window in the North-side elevation towards No.33, however it would be obscurely glazed and unlikely to result in a loss of privacy to this neighbouring dwelling.
All other neighbouring dwellings are sufficiently separated and/or screened from the proposal and would therefore not be detrimentally impacted.
The proposal would create an additional bedroom, resulting in a 4-bedroom dwelling. According to the Parking Standards SPD, a 4-bedroom property requires three off-street parking spaces, which could be achieved at the application site.
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, Langford Neighbourhood Plan (2024), 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.
