)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a detached dwelling consisting of single storey and two storey elements located on Meadow Way in Ampthill.
The proposal consists of a single storey rear extension measuring a width of 6.5m, a depth of 8.2m and a pitched roof measuring a eaves height of 2.5m, and a highest point of 4.1m. The proposal would contain three rooflights set into the proposed roofslope, with one rooflight proposed on an existing single storey element to the side elevation, and another to an existing two storey element. Furthermore, an existing conservatory would be removed to make room for the proposal.
A planning application under CB/25/00974/FULL was granted for a part single storey, part two storey extension with both front and rear dormers. Although the proposed built form is to be reduced to single storey, it is noted that this extension extends 4.8m further in depth than the previous application, and 2.9m further forward of the existing conservatory.
It is considered that the host dwelling has benefited from several additions to the main dwellinghouse, notably a significant two storey addition to the rear and side elevations. These additions to the main dwellinghouse are noted to have created a mixed design on the host dwelling, with several roof formations and styles located on the site.
The proposal would not be a visible addition to the streetscene of Meadow Way. It is noted that the proposal would be of a substantial size in both depth and height, however due to the single storey nature of the proposal and the existing extensions noted on the property, it is considered that the proposal would not detrimentally impact the character and appearance of the surrounding area. Furthermore, due to the mixture of roof formations and additions to the property, it is not considered that this extension would be at odds with the grain and pattern of development.
The proposal would be partially obscured from an adjacent neighbour (50 Grange Road) by the bulk of the main dwellinghouse. Furthermore, the proposal would also remain significantly separated from this neighbour by some 38m. As such, the proposal would not lead to any detrimental loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact on this adjacent neighbour.
The proposed extension would be located 1.5m from the boundary with the other adjacent neighbours (63 and 65 Holland Road) and 10m from the closest built form to the rear of 65 Holland Road. Furthermore, an existing conservatory is currently in place on the site, which would be removed to make room for this application.
Although it is noted that this extension would be located in close proximity to the boundary with this neighbouring property, it is noted that the existing conservatory has established built form to the rear of the application site. As such, alongside the single storey nature of the proposal and the noted separation distances, it is considered that the proposal would not lead to significant detrimental impacts to the residential amenities of these neighbouring properties.
All other properties are considered to be sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impacts.
An additional bedroom would be proposed within this application, which would bring the amount of bedrooms on the site form three to four. As such, three parking spaces would be required on the application site. The application site currently benefits from a driveway to the side elevation of the property, as well as a small area of hard standing to the forward elevation. Therefore, the proposal is considered to have retained adequate parking provision, and would be in conformity with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
It is noted that a Public Right of Way is located across the front elevation of the application site. As such a Right of Way Officer was consulted on this application. The Officer has noted no objections to the proposal, on the proviso that the Public footpath remains completely unaffected.
Furthermore, that officer has noted that the applicants will have to be mindful of the Public Footpath and its users in terms of any works deliveries to the property and no materials or vehicles associated with the development should be left on or near the Public Footpath so as to cause any hazard, obstruction or inconvenience to it's users at any time
Ampthill Parish Council were 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 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. Furthermore, the proposal would also not cause any detrimental impacts to the residential amenities of neighbouring properties. As such, the proposal is 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.
