)Reasons for granting
The application site is a detached dwelling on Churchill Drive, Flitwick. The proposal is for a single storey rear extension. The single storey rear extension would have a depth of 3.03m, a width of 6.5m and a flat roof height of 3.22m.
The proposed rear extension would be shielded by the existing dwelling and would not be readily visible to the street scene furthermore, the proposed extension would be considered subservient in scale and design to the existing dwelling. The proposed rooflight would be considered small and modest in scale and would not be considered to result in harm to the character and appearance of the area.
In terms of neighbouring amenity, the proposed rear extension is set off the boundary with No.15 Brunel Place. Given the existing garage on site screening the majority of the proposed built form and the proposal's single storey nature it is not considered that the proposal would result in any loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact to this neighbouring property. The rear extension is set off the boundary with No.32 and No.34 Churchill Drive and given the orientation of the dwellings and separation distance it is not considered that the proposal would result in any loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact to these neighbouring properties. All other properties are sufficiently separated from the application dwelling to ensure no impact would arise from the development.
On the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate parking has been retained. The proposal does not create any additional bedrooms and as such will not be required to demonstrate further onsite parking.
The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received, the Parish Council raised no objections.
It is considered that the proposal will be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Parking Standards in new development SPD, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide 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.
