)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a two storey semi-detached dwelling located on Ulverston Drive in Dunstable. The proposal consists of the erection of a single storey rear extension with a rooflight, and alteration of the roof of the existing rear extension to a pitched roof. The proposed ectension would measure 3 metres in depth from the existing rear extension and 4 metres in width.
Due to the siting and design, the proposed rear extension would not be visible within the street scene. On the basis of its design and scale, the proposal would form an appropriate addition to the existing dwellinghouse and would not be deemed to have any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
In terms of neighbouring amenity, the proposal would be sited 5.3 metres from the shared boundary of neighbouring dwelling No.22 Ulverston Drive. The proposal would comply with the 45 degree rule of light, as per the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, and therefore this neighbouring dwelling is unlikely to be detrimentally impacted in terms of loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact. The proposed extension would be sited 14.5 metres from neighbouring dwelling No.20 Ulverston Drive and therefore due to the separation distance, this dwelling would unlikely to be detrimentally impacted.
The proposal would not increase the number of bedrooms at the dwelling, and therefore the existing off-street parking on site would be acceptable on a like-for-like basis.
Dunstable Town Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection. The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received.
The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 11 of Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, Parking Standards for New Developments SPD and Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (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.
