)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a two storey detached dwelling located on Stoke Road in Linslade. The proposal consists of a single storey rear extension, measuring a width of 7.38m, a depth of 4.22m and would contain a flat roof measuring a height of 3.9m.
An existing rear extension is currently located on the site measuring the same width and depth as the proposal, but currently benefits from a mono pitched roof. Additionally, the proposal would be finished in a similar render and brickwork to the main dwellinghouse, with a parapet roof. Furthermore, an existing ground floor window on the existing rear projection would be replaced with a new window to match the proposed windows on the extension.
The proposal would be located to the rear of the main dwellinghouse, and would not be visible to the streetscene of Stoke Road. As the proposal would match the footprint of an existing rear extension, it is not considered that this extension would be at odds with the existing grain and pattern of development. As such, the proposal is not considered to lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
The proposal would remain separated from the boundaries with the adjacent neighbours. The proposal would be located some 6.4m away from built form located on the adjacent site (49 Stoke Road). As such, the extension is not considered to lead to any further impacts on this adjacent neighbouring property. Furthermore, the proposal would be obscured from the other adjacent neighbour (53 Stoke Road) by existing built form on the application site. Therefore, the proposal would not lead to any loss of privacy or overbearing impacts on this adjacent neighbour. All other properties are considered to be sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impacts.
The proposal would not lead to an increase in bedrooms within the property, and would not impact the existing parking provision on the application site. As such, the proposal is considered to be in conformity with Policy T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
A Tree and Landscape Officer was consulted on this application, and raised no objection to the proposal as the extension would be built on an existing foundations base, and would not encroach further than the existing built form. Additionally, Leighton-Linslade Town Council were also consulted on this application, and also raised no objection to the proposal.
This application was also subject to a public and neighbour consultation, and three representations were received. Two comments were received in support of this application, and a further comment did not object to the proposal, but would disagree with any further development on the flat roof of this proposed extension.
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 surrounding area, and would also not lead to any detrimental impacts on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties. As such, the proposal would be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and 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.
