)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a link-detached dwelling located on Holland Road in Ampthill. The proposal consists of a single storey rear extension measuring a width of 2.91m, a depth of 2.7m and comprises a flat roof measuring a height of 2.7m. Furthermore, the proposal would also include a proposed platform lift and stairs to the front elevation, as well as the levelling of the driveway.
The proposed rear extension would not be visible to the streetscene of Holland Road, and as such would not have a visible impact on the streetscene. Although the proposed front alterations would be visible to the surrounding area, it is not considered that the application would lead to any detrimental impacts to the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
The link terrace of properties along Holland Road are noted to be constructed at different levels and staggers, with this adjacent neighbour being built at a lower level and a more forward position. The proposed rear extension would be built to the boundary with an adjacent neighbour (72 Holland Road). Although it is noted that the proposal would extend built form along the boundary, due to the 3.2m separation taken together with existing boundary treatment, it is not considered that this application would lead to a significant loss of light or privacy to this adjacent neighbour.
The proposal would remain separated from the other adjacent neighbour (68 Holland Road), and as such would not lead to a loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact on this adjacent neighbour.
All other properties would remain sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impact.
The proposal would lead to the addition of a ground floor bedroom to the site, bringing the number of bedroom to four. Further to this, due to the proposed platform lift and ramp, built form would encroach onto the driveway which was marked to contain two parking spaces, as such bringing the amount of parking spaces on the site to one.
As a further bedroom is proposed on the ground floor, the proposal is required to provide a further space to adequately satisfy the parking provision on the site, however no parking restrictions are noted on the public highway of Holland Road, and off-street parking could occur without leading to any detrimental impacts on the safety of the public highway.
Ampthill Town 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 not considered that the proposal would lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. Furthermore, the proposal is not expected to lead to any detrimental impacts on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties. As such, the proposal would remain 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.
