)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a two-storey, semi-detached dwelling located on Norman Road, Barton-le-Clay and is constructed of mainly brickwork with a gable tile roof. The proposal consists of the erection of a single storey front and side extension, addition of a new porch, tundish drain from boiler, rooflight and internal alterations. This would measure approximately 4.6 meters in width on the front elevation and 3 metres in width to the rear. The extension would have an overall 11.8 meters in depth and a maximum roof height of at least some 3.8 meters. The overall footprint of the property would increase by 33 square metres to serve a new garage, kitchen, utility room and bathroom.
Norman Road is characterised by single-storey dwellings of similar age and design, with semi-detached plots separated by adjoined garages. Similar schemes to other properties across Norman Road are noted, and therefore the proposal is not considered to be at odds with the existing grain and pattern of development. On the basis of its design and scale, the proposal would form a proportionate addition to the existing dwellinghouse with the majority of the proposal would sited in and behind what was previously a gated rear entrance, the development would have limited impact on the street scene. Furthermore, the front elevation alterations would be considered a minor and modest addition to the facade, in keeping with similar extensions across Norman Road. Overall the proposal, although noted to be of substantial size, would not lead to detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
Regarding the siting of the proposal, the most potentially impacted neighbouring dwellings are deemed to be No.116 and No.120 Norman Road. In terms of neighbouring amenity, the proposed rear extension would be set on the boundary with No.116 Norman Road and would surpass the rear projection of this property by 4.8 metres. The site contains an existing rear garden structure positioned at the end of the proposed extension, which sits along the shared boundary with this neighbouring dwelling. This results in an existing, and continued, linear form of enclosure along the boundary. However, due to the single storey nature of the proposal and the existing built form to the side and rear of both dwellings, it is not considered to result in any unacceptable loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact to this neighbour. Furthermore, the dual-pitched gable roof of the proposed side extension follows the roofline of No.116 and as such, there will be no unacceptable harm to neighbouring amenity in this regard.
Neighbouring dwelling No.120 would be separated from the rear extension by some 5.4 metres. Due to this separation no detrimental impact on occupants of this neighbouring dwelling would be deemed to arise. All neighbours adjacent to the front extension are considered sufficiently separated for there to be any neighbouring impact due to the sitting and scale of the proposal.
On the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate parking has been retained. The proposal does not create any additional bedrooms and as such will not be required to demonstrate further onsite parking.
Barton-le-Clay Parish Council were consulted on this application and did not provide any 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.
