)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a semi-detached dwelling located on Greenway in Campton. The proposal consists of a single storey rear extension measuring a width of 7.8m, a depth of 3.95m and a mono pitched roof measuring an eaves height of 2.45m and a highest point of 3.6m. Additionally, the proposal would also contain four rooflights embedded into the roofslope. Furthermore, this application also includes the conversion of an existing linked garage into a store, utility and shower. The only external alteration proposed within this garage conversion is noted to be the replacement of a single window to the rear elevation.
The proposed rear extension would not be a visible addition to the streetscene of Greenway. As such, it is not considered that this extension would impact the character and appearance of the surrounding area. Furthermore, the proposed garage conversion would not lead to any further alterations to the principal elevation, and as such would also not be a visible intrusion to the surrounding streetscene. Therefore, the proposals would not lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
The proposed extension would be built to the boundary with an adjacent neighbour (95 Greenway). However, it is noted that this adjacent neighbour has previously benefited from a rear extension measuring the same depth of this proposal, and as such, it is not considered that this proposal would not lead to any detrimental impacts on the residential amenities of this property.
The rear extension and garage conversion would remain separated from the other detached neighbour (91 Greenway) by some 12.5m (approx.). As such, it is not considered that the proposal would lead to a loss of light, loss of privacy and overbearing impact on this adjacent neighbour.
All other properties are considered to be sufficiently separated from this adjacent neighbour for there to be any material impact.
The proposal would not lead to the creation of any further bedrooms on the site, however the conversion of the garage would lead to the removal of the parking space on the site. As the property is a three bedroomed dwelling, under the Parking Standards for New Developments SPD (2023) two parking spaces are required to be provided. It is noted that the site benefits from an area of hardstanding to the forward elevation, and as such no further parking provision would be required. Therefore, the proposal is considered to be in conformity with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
Campton and Chicksands Parish Council were consulted on this application, and no objection was raised. 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 considered that this application would not lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. Additionally, the proposal would also not lead to any detrimental impacts on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties. As such, the proposal would be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and the Campton and Chicksands Neighbourhood Plan (2020-2035).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.
