)Reasons for granting permission:
The application site consists of a semi-detached dwelling located on the northeastern side of Silsoe Road. The site consists of a large field located to the west with a small attached barn to the rear. Two larger barns are located to the northwest of the dwelling. The proposed two storey extension is located to the rear of the dwelling and passing glimpses of the extension would be visible from the public highway. The extension has been amended to feature a hipped roof with the main dwelling, instead of a flat roof. The proposed scale of the extension is considered to be proportionate to the main dwellinghouse, and the amended design would not appear out of character with the surrounding area. The proposed replacement barn would be of a similar scale to the existing barn and would use similar materials. Given the similar scale and the appropriate design of the barn and the appropriate scale and design of the extension, it is not considered that the proposed works would have a significant impact on the character of the area.
The proposed use of the barn would appear incidental to the main dwelling, being used for storage and parking of vehicles as well as containing a workshop. Nevertheless, in order to ensure the use is incidental to the dwellinghouse, this will be conditioned which will also make sure the barn is not used for any other purpose.
The proposed barn would be sited some 31.4 metres away from the nearest neighbouring property, Rosedale, and as such it is not considered that the proposed barn would have a significant impact on this property. The proposed rear extension would not be visible from the neighbouring property Rosedale, given its siting between the existing rear and side projection. As such, the proposed extension would not be considered to have an adverse impact on this property
The proposal would not be increasing the number of bedrooms at the property, nor is it considered that the proposed works would have a significant impact upon the public highway.
Conditions have been recommended from the Council's Ecologist in regard to requiring an Ecological Enhancement Plan prior to works commencing and for all measures to be carried out with the Bat Scoping Survey. It is considered that these conditions are necessary and the agent has confirmed their agreement to these conditions.
Neighbouring properties have been consulted on the application, and no comments have been received.
It is considered that the proposal would be in accordance with Section 12 of the NPPF, Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, the Maulden Neighbourhood Plan, Parking Standards in New Development SPD and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.Reasons for granting permission:

)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.
