)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a semi-detached dwelling located on Jubilee Crescent in Arlesey. The proposal consists of a single storey side extension to act as a link between the main dwellinghouse and an existing garage to the side/rear of the site. This extension would be angled to match the shape of the boundary of the site, and would measure 4.3m at its widest point, and 2.9m at its shallowest. The proposal would measure a depth of 4.2m along the boundary, and would contain a flat roof measuring a height of 3m.
Furthermore, the proposal would also include the conversion of an existing garage to study/sitting room. No extension to this garage is proposed.
The proposed side extension would be visible to the streetscene of Jubilee Crescent, and would obscure the existing garage to be converted. Although similar side extensions are not noted to be visible within the streetscene, the proposal would remain set back from the public highway and the principal elevation of the main dwellinghouse.
As such, the proposal is not considered to lead to a any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
It is noted that the side extension would be constructed with a flat roof. This would cut through the eaves of the existing pitched garage roof, however due to its obscured position from the streetscene, it is not considered that this roof formation would be visually obtrusive.
The proposed side extension would be obscured from an adjacent neighbour (27 Jubilee Crescent) by the bulk of the main dwellinghouse. Furthermore, the proposed garage conversion would remain separated from this neighbour. As such, this proposal would not lead to any detrimental impacts to the residential amenities of this neighbour.
The proposed side extension would be built to the boundary with the other adjacent neighbour (23 Jubilee Crescent). Although the proposal would increase built form in proximity to this property, due to the configuration both sites at angles to each other, this proposed built form would be separated by the main dwellinghouse of this neighbour by some 2.8m. Furthermore, it is noted that the existing garage to be converted is already located along this boundary, and its conversion would not lead to any further impacts on the residential amenity of this 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 the creation of any further bedrooms, however the existing garage would be converted and would as such remove a parking space from the property. However, it is noted that the application site benefits from an area of hardstanding to the front of the property, which would provide adequate parking provision for the site. As such, the proposal is considered to be in conformity with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
Arlesey Town Council were consulted on this application, and no comment was received. 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 application would lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. In addition, the proposal would not lead to any detrimental impacts on 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, Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and the Arlesey Neighbourhood Plan (2016-2031)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.
