)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a two storey semi-detached dwelling located on Rothschild Road in Linslade. The proposal consists of the erection of single storey rear and side extensions with rooflights. The proposed rear extension would measure 2 metres in depth from the existing rear projection and 5.15 metres in maximum width. The proposed side extension would measure 1.3 metres in width from the side elevation and 4.1 metres in depth. On both extensions, the height of the eaves would be 2.4 metres and the maximum ridge height would be 3.8 metres.
Due to the siting and design, the proposed rear extension would not be visible within the street scene, however the side extension would be partially visible. The proposed side extension would remain modest and subservient to the existing dwelling, which would be set back from the principle elevation by 7.6 metres. 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 proposed rear extension would be sited along the shared boundary with No.37 Rothschild Road, however due to the single storey nature of the proposal and roof form, it would be unlikely to result in an overbearing impact. In addition, the proposed rear elevation would not extend further than the existing building line of No.37 due to an existing extension to the neighbouring dwelling and therefore the proposal would not result in a loss of light or loss of privacy.
No.33 Rothschild Road would be sited 1 metre from the side extension, and 2.3 metres from the rear extension. This neighbouring dwelling also sites existing built form along the boundary with no windows in the side elevation, and therefore the proposal is unlikely to detrimentally impact this neighbouring dwelling.
The proposal would not increase the number of bedrooms and as such, the parking requirement for the application site would be acceptable on a like-for-like basis.
Leighton-Linslade Town Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection. Natural England was also consulted and raised no comments. 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.
