)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a detached dwelling located on Heath Park Road in Leighton Buzzard. Applecross is a chalet-style dwelling with front and rear dormer windows in the roof slope. The proposal consists of the erection of a part two storey, part first-floor side extension.
The proposed side extension would be visible within the street scene of Heath Park Road, which is characterised by detached properties of varying designs and scales. The proposal would have a flat roofed dormer window in the front roof slope, which would match the design of the existing first floor windows. The first floor would be set back from the principal elevation, with a lower ridge height, and appear subservient to the original dwelling. As such, the proposal would not be deemed to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
The proposed extension would be sited adjacent to the boundary of No.273 Heath Road. Due to the sufficient separation distance of approximately 5 metres and the offset siting between the proposal and this neighbouring dwelling, it would be unlikely to result in a detrimental impact by way of loss of light or loss of privacy. In addition, the first floor would be set 1 metre from the shared boundary and have a low eaves height, which would be unlikely to result in an overbearing impact. All other neighbouring dwellings are sufficiently separated, screened, and/or similar views would be achieved from the proposed rear windows that would be similar to those of the existing property.
The proposal would create an additional bedroom, resulting in a four-bedroom dwelling. According to the Parking Standards SPD, the property would require three off-street parking spaces, which could be achieved at the application site, as shown on drawing number DD 23/182.2B.
Leighton-Linslade Town Council were consulted on the application and had 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.
