Therefore the proposed render being applied to the to the small section of brickwork would not detraact from the character of the areaand as such, the proposal is not considered to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area and is in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
In terms of the neighbouring amenity the proposed render is visible to the street scene and neighbouring properties.

)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.
