)Reasons for granting:
The application seeks planning permission for a single storey rear extension a front porch, a front extension and rendering to the host dwelling. Examples of rendering can be seen in the street scene, most notably at No.74 and as such the proposed rendering would not look out of character. The proposed porch will be set back from the highway and as such, the proposal would not be intrusive to the street scene. The proposed front extension is of a modest single storey design which is proportionate to the original dwelling and harmonises with the existing built form and therefore would have a detrimental impact on the character of the area. The proposed rear extension would be replacing the existing conservatory which is of a similar footprint and is considered to form a sympathetic addition to the dwellinghouse that would not harm the character and appearance of the area.
The proposed porch and front and rear extensions, due to their siting away from neighbouring properties, would not have any impact on the amenities of neighbouring properties.
On the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate parking has been retained. The proposal does create an additional bedroom, however parking would be retained for 3 car parking spaces.
Comments have been received from the Council's Archaeologist in relation to the front extension and the need for a condition for a WSI. The applicant has provided photos of drains that show that where the extension is to be located has been previously excavated. As such, it is not considered reasonable to attach such a condition, due to the scale of the development, the condition and existing use of the site.
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.
