)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a semi-detached dwelling located on Chelsea Green in Linslade. The proposal consists of a rear flat roofed dormer measuring a width of 5.7m, a depth of 3.5m from the original roofslope and a height of 2.9m. Furthermore, the application also consists of a hip to gable alteration to the main roof to accommodate this rear dormer, as well as three rooflights located on the principal elevation.
Additionally, a window on the north west side elevation at the first floor level would be removed from the application site. This window would have previously been located above the staircase. The other two windows on this side elevation would be retained.
A rear dormer, hip to gable addition and front rooflights were previously approved under CB/25/001239/LDCP. This previous approval contained identical dimensions to this application. However, the dormer in this application is noted to be constructed with an iron grey cladding, whereas the approved Lawful Development Certificate would be constructed of materials to match existing.
The proposed dormer would be located on the rear elevation, and would not be visible to the streetscene of Chelsea Green. However the hip to gable addition as well as the front rooflights would be visible. Due to the modest size and scale of these additions, it is not considered that this proposal would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
Furthermore, it is noted that the adjacent neighbouring property (33 Chelsea Green) has previously benefited from rooflights to the front of the dwellinghouse, as well as a rear dormer constructed of grey cladding. Therefore, the proposal would not be considered at odds with the existing grain and pattern of development.
No properties are located to the rear of the application site, and therefore it is not considered that the proposal would lead to any overlooking impacts on any properties to the rear. Additionally, as no windows are proposed on the side elevation of the dormer, the proposals would not lead to a loss of privacy to the adjacent neighbouring properties.
All other properties are considered sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impact.
The proposal would lead to an increase in bedrooms, with the property moving from a two bedroom to a four bedroom dwelling. Leighton-Linslade Parish Council have noted that they raise no objection to the proposal subject to parking standards being met. Although further bedrooms would require one further parking space to be provided, hard standing to the front of the property would be considered to provide adequate parking provision on the application site.
This application was subject to a public and neighbour consultation and no representations were received.
Given the siting, design and scale of the proposal it is considered that the proposal would not lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the streetscene, and no material impacts on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties. The proposal is therefore considered to be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan 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.
