)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a two storey semi-detached dwelling located on Station Road in Lidlington. The proposal consists of the erection of a two storey part single storey, front, side and rear extension, following demolition of the existing garage.
The proposed two storey side extension would be visible within the street scene, however Station Road is characterised by properties of varying designs and scales. The first floor would be set back from the principal elevation and appear subservient to the original dwelling. The proposal would not be deemed to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
The proposed single storey rear extension would be sited adjacent to the boundary of No.22 Station Road. Due to the existing built form of the neighbouring dwelling and sufficient separation distance of the two-storey element, this neighbouring dwelling is unlikely to be impacted.
The proposal would be sited 1.3 metres from the shared boundary of neighbouring dwelling No.24a Station Road, and 2.4 metres from the property. The proposal would comply with the 45 degree rule of light to the first floor side windows of No.24a, as shown on drawing number 24-107-03B, and therefore would not result in a significant loss of light, loss of privacy or cause an overbearing impact. The removal of the existing garage would likely improve the impact on the boundary, with the single storey rear element of the proposal sited further from the boundary.
The proposal would create an additional bedroom, resulting in a three-bedroom dwelling. According to the Parking Standards SPD, the property would require two off-street parking spaces, which could continue to be achieved at the application site.
Lidlington Parish Council were consulted on the application and had no objection. The application was subject to public consultation and one representation of support was received. A neighbour noted that the initial plans had been amended prior to submission of the application and addressed previous concerns to ensure no overbearing impact or loss of light, they confirmed no objection to the proposed application as submitted.
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.
