)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a two storey semi-detached dwelling located on Holme Close in Marston Moretaine. The proposal consists of the erection of a part single part two storey side extension, following demolition of the existing garage. The proposal also includes installation of a roof light and solar tunnel.
The proposed side extension would be visible within the street scene. Holme Close is characterised by properties of varying designs and scales, with existing examples of first floor and two storey side extensions. The proposed extension would be set back from the front elevation and appear subservient to the original dwelling. There would be 1 metre distance from the common boundary at first floor height to reduce the possibility of a terracing effect, in accordance with the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide. The proposal would not be deemed to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
Due to the siting of the neighbouring garage, design of the proposal and sufficient separation distance, the proposal would comply with the 45 degree rule of light and would be unlikely to affect No.24 Holme Close in terms of loss of light, loss of privacy or an overbearing impact. Due to distance and orientation, no other dwelling would be significantly impacted by the extension.
The proposal would create an additional bedroom, resulting in a four-bedroom dwelling. According to the Parking Standards SPD, the property would require three off-street parking spaces. There are currently two existing off-street parking spaces and as shown in the Design and Access Statement provided, a third car parking space could be provided if required.
Marston Moreteyne Parish Council were consulted on the application and provided no objection. 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.
