)Reasons for Granting:
The proposal seeks planning permission for single storey side and rear extensions.
The application site comprises a semi-detached bungalow located along Kingsmoor Close, in Flitwick. The surrounding area is mostly residential in nature, with dwellings on the southern side of Kingsmoor Close of a similar single storey design and scale. The proposed extensions would be modest in their scale and would appear proportionate additions to the existing dwelling. In addition, the proposed extensions would not be easily visible to the public realm from within the streetscene. Considering the above, the proposed extensions would form sympathetic additions to the host dwelling and would not give rise to any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
As regards neighbouring amenity, the proposed side extension would replace an existing conservatory at the site, in a similar however slightly larger footprint. This aspect of the proposal would be appropriately separated from neighbouring dwelling No. 12 Kingsmoor Close. Considering this and the modest scale and design of the proposed side extension; no detrimental overbearing impact or loss of light would be deemed to arise to this neighbouring dwelling. In addition, all other neighbouring dwellings are sufficiently separated and/ or screened from this proposed extension as to where they would not be detrimentally impacted.
The proposed single storey rear extension would be sited immediately adjacent to the shared boundary with neighbouring dwelling No. 10 Kingsmoor Close, at a depth of 3 metres. This extension would have a flat roof, with a height of 3 metres. Considering the modest scale of this proposed extension, no detrimental overbearing impact or loss of light would be considered to arise to this neighbouring dwelling. All other neighbouring dwellings are deemed to be sufficiently separated and/ or screened from the proposed rear extension as to where they would not be adversely impacted.
The proposal would not increase the number of bedrooms within the host dwelling and would not adversely affect the existing parking or access arrangements at the site, acceptable on a like-for-like basis.
Neighbouring properties and the Town Council have been consulted on this application. The Town Council did not comment and no comments were received in the form of public representations.
Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, the Parking Standards for New Development SPD 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.
