)Reasons for granting:
The application site is a semi-detached property located on Almond Road, Leighton Buzzard. The application seeks planning permission for a single storey rear extension and single storey front extension.
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 front extension would be visible to the streetscene however it would not extend beyond the existing front porch. Given the scale and design of the proposed front extension it would remain proportionate to the property. Overall, the proposed development is not considered to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
The proposed front extension would be set 0.1m off the boundary with No.31 Almond Road. The front extension would have a limited impact on the light to this neighbouring property (front window). The proposed 1.83m depth extension, with relatively low height would have some limited impact on the light to this neighbour, any impact on light to the front window of the adjacent property would not be considered so significant to warrant a reason for refusal. On balance, it is not considered that the single storey front extension due to the scale, orientation and the design of the proposal would result in any loss of privacy or overbearing impact to this neighbour. All other neighbouring properties are sufficiently separated or screened from the front extension, as such they would not be detrimentally impacted.
The proposed rear extension would not surpass the built form of No.31's rear elevation and as such it is not considered to have an adverse impact to this property. The rear extension would be set off the boundary with No.33 and due to the single storey nature of the proposal it is not considered that the proposal would result in any loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact to this neighbouring property. All other neighbouring properties are considered sufficiently separated.
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 Town 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.
