)Reasons for Granting:
The proposal seeks planning permission for the demolition of an existing detached garden store building and the erection of a new ancillary detached family room with roof lights.
The application site comprises a two-storey, detached dwellinghouse located along Water End Road, in Maulden. The surrounding area is rural in nature, characterised with sporadically sited dwellings of a varied design and appearance. In addition, outbuildings located within rear gardens and around dwellings are common within the streetscene and as such, the proposed outbuilding would not appear at odds with the character and grain of development in the surrounding area. As determined in Pre-Application Advice discussions (reference: CB/25/02373/PAPC), there was concern with the height and bulk of the proposed outbuilding and it was considered that a reduction in its height was required to create a more subordinate addition at the site. The outbuilding has now been reduced in its height to 3.6 metres (approx.) and would now appear a more proportionate and less dominant addition at the site. Moreover, the outbuilding would be constructed and finished with black stained horizontal timber boards and concrete tiles, appropriate in its rural context. In addition, the outbuilding, in its ancillary use, would share amenities with the host dwelling such as its parking, access and amenity areas. Considering the above, the outbuilding would be deemed to form an appropriate and high-quality addition, and would not be considered to result in any detrimental impact upon the character and appearance of the area.
As regards neighbouring amenity, the outbuilding would be significantly separated and/ or screened from neighbouring dwellings as to where no undue harm would arise regarding the amenity of these nearby properties.
The proposals would not adversely affect the parking or access arrangements at the site. Adequate parking is deemed to be achievable on the existing driveway and as such the proposal would be acceptable, with regard to highway considerations.
Neighbouring properties and the Town Council have been consulted on this application. The Parish Council did not comment and no comments were received in the form of public representations.
Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, the Parking Standards for New Development SPD, the Maulden Neighbourhood Plan and Section 12 of the 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.
