)
Reasons For Granting,
The property is semi-detached dwelling located on Lime Grove in Linslade. The proposal consists of a single storey rear extension measuring a width of 7.4m and a depth of 4m. The proposal would contain a flat roof measuring a height of 3.1m and two roof lanterns which would increase the height to 3.6m. Furthermore, a single storey front porch is also proposed, measuring a width of 3.46m, a depth of 1.3m and a pitched roof with an eaves height of 2.36m and a highest point of 3.5m.
Furthermore, an existing single door is also proposed to be located on the side elevation, which would serve a newly created utility room.
The rear extension would not be visible to the streetscene of Lime Grove, and, due to other rear extensions noted within the vicinity of the application site, this extension would not have an impact the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
The proposed front extension would be visible to the streetscene and would extend forward of the existing principal elevation. However this front porch would remain set back from the public highway, and would not have a detrimental impact on the streetscene of Lime Grove. Furthermore, several front protrusions are noted within the vicinity of the application site. As such, the proposed front porch would not be considered at odds with the existing grain and pattern of development.
The proposed front and rear extension would be set off the boundary with the detached neighbour (11 Lime Grove), and as such it is not considered that the proposal would lead to any loss of privacy or overbearing impact on this adjacent neighbour.
The proposed rear extension would be built to the boundary with the attached neighbour (13 Lime Grove) and a section of existing hedgerow and timber fencing would be removed to make room for this extension. It is noted that this neighbour has previously benefited from a rear extension, however this proposal would extend built form along the boundary by some 1.42m. Furthermore, the highest point of this extension is some 0.2m taller than the existing highest point of the adjacent extension. Due to the moderate increase in depth along the boundary and height in comparison to the adjacent extension, it is not considered that this application would lead to a loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact on this neighbouring property. Furthermore, the proposed front porch would remain separated from this adjacent neighbour, and as such would not have a detrimental material impact on this property.
All other properties are considered to be sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impact.
It is noted that the front porch would be constructed onto the hardstanding currently used for parking provision. However, two parking spaces have been retained on the site, and as no further bedrooms are proposed within this application, the proposal is considered to have provided adequate parking provision on the application site.
Leighton-Linslade Parish Council have been consulted on this application, and raised no objection. This application was also subject to a public and neighbour consultation and no representations were received.
Given the scale, siting and design of the development, it is not considered that this application would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, and would not have a detrimental impact on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties. Therefore, the application is considered to be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.

)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.
