)Reaons for Granting
The property is a two-storey terraced dwelling located in the centre of a block of five properties set back from Greenfield Close in Dunstable. The proposal consists of a replacement porch to the front of the property which will be a width of 2.85m a depth of 1.5m and a height of 3.2m.
The proposed porch extends beyond the existing front of the property by 1.5m, protruding an additional 0.7m compared to the original porch. It will be visible from the street scene, however due to the variety of different porches in the area and with the scale and design the new porch remains proportionate to the property.
It is not considered that the proposal would have a material impact on the character and appearance of the property or the surrounding area.
All other neighbours are considered sufficiently separated from the proposal for there to be any material impact.
The proposal due to its set back location would not affect the current parking provision for the application site.
Dunstable Town Council were consulted and raised no objection. The application was subject to public consultation, and no representations were raised.
Given the siting, design and scale of the proposal it is not considered that the proposal would result in any material impacts on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties and would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore considered to be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide 2023.Reaons 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.
