)Reasons for granting:
The application site is a detached dwelling located on Hillside Road, Leighton Buzzard. The application seeks permission for the demolition of the existing conservatory and construction of a single storey rear extension with roof lights.
The proposed single storey rear extension, in its entirety, would form a deep and considerable extension to the existing dwelling. However, the demolition of the existing conservatory and rear extension, cumulatively, would result in a rationalisation of the built form of the host dwellinghouse. Moreover, whilst the proposed extension would be large in its footprint, it has been appropriately set down from the ridgeline of the dwelling as to where it has reduced the overall bulk and mass of the proposal. Further to this, the proposal would appear subservient when viewed in the context of the existing built form. Therefore, on balance, the proposed single storey rear extension would form an acceptable addition at the application site, which would not result in any harmful impact on the character and appearance of the area. The proposed rooflights would be considered small and modest in scale and would not be considered to result in harm to the character and appearance of the area. The proposed windows would be finished in black aluminium which is considered to be acceptable.
The proposal would be set off the boundary with the neighbouring property known as 'Mogan'. Given the existing built form on site, separation distance and orientation of the dwellings it is not considered that the proposal would result in any loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact to this neighbouring property. The proposal would be set off the boundary to the west with 'Avalon'. Given the existing built form on site, orientation of the dwellings and 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. The levels of the site have been taking into consideration whilst making this determination.
The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received, the Town Council had no objections. The Rights of Way Officer made no comments.
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.
