)Reasons for Granting:
The proposal seeks planning permission for a detached garage.
The application site comprises a two-storey, detached dwellinghouse located along Shefford Road in Clifton. The surrounding area is residential in nature, characterised with dwellings of a varied design and scale.
Planning application reference: CB/25/02542/FULL, granted planning permission for a detached garage to the front of the host dwelling (51 Shefford Road) and application site. Therefore, the principle of a detached garage in this similar siting is acceptable and has not been found to appear at odds with the character of the area, due to examples of similar development nearby. The proposed garage under this current application would be sited in a similar footprint, however, has been rotated slightly as to where it would now be sited parallel with the front boundary of the site. Whilst this would site the garage in closer proximity to the front boundary and streetscene, this would not be considered to significantly increase the prominence of the proposal when compared to the previous approval, as to where it would now be deemed harmful. Moreover, the roof design of the proposed garage has also been amended from a gable roof, to a hipped roof which has reduced the bulk and mass of the garage. On this basis, on balance, the proposed garage would not be considered to give rise to any unacceptable impact upon the character and appearance of the area.
As regards neighbouring amenity, the detached garage would be located adjacent to neighbouring dwelling No. 53 Shefford Road, however, would be well-separated. By virtue of the height and scale of the detached garage, including that it would now have a hipped roof and due to the appropriate separation from the built form of No. 53; no detrimental overbearing impact, loss of light or any loss of privacy would be deemed to arise. All other neighbouring dwellings are deemed to be sufficiently separated and/ or screened from the proposed garage as to where they would not be adversely impacted.
The new detached garage would be sited on the existing driveway at the application site. However, sufficient parking is deemed to be achievable on the driveway to the front and side of the garage. The garage would also not adversely impact the access arrangements at the site.
Neighbouring properties and the Parish Council have been consulted on this application. The Parish Council raised no objection 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 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.
