)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a two-storey detached dwelling located on Western Way in Sandy. The proposal consists of the replacement of the existing front porch, roof canopy extending over the front window and render to the front elevation. The width of the front porch would not be increased, however the depth would increase by 0.5 metres and the roof canopy would have a maximum height of 3.4 metres.
The proposal would be readily visible within the streetscene, however there are existing examples of mono-pitched front porches, and external render and cladding present within Western Way. Due to this and the modest nature of the proposal, the proposal would not be considered to have a material impact on the character and appearance of the area.
The proposal would result in minimal changes to the footprint of the front porch and therefore it would be unlikely to result in an impact to nearby neighbouring dwellings. The proposal would not adversely affect the existing parking or access arrangements at the application site and would therefore be acceptable on a like-for-like basis.
Sandy Town Council were consulted on this application and had no objections. 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, 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.
