)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a two-storey, detached dwelling located on Arnolds Close, Clifton and is constructed of brickwork with a gable tile roof featuring dormers and an attached double garage. The proposal consists of the erection of a single storey extension to the rear of the dwelling and alterations to windows and doors. The proposed extension would measure approximately 7.3 metres in width, with a maximum depth of 9.9 metres and a flat roof height of at least some 3.5 metres.
Arnold Close is characterised by two-storey, detached dwellings of similar age and design with large plot sizes. On the basis of its design and scale, while the proposed extension is of a substantial size, it is nonetheless considered to remain proportionate and subservient to the host dwelling, having regard to the generous plot size and garden depth. Additionally, rear projections to other properties across Arnolds Close are noted, and therefore the proposal is not considered to be at odds with the existing grain and pattern of development. The proposal includes additions of doors within the side elevations, these would be of design and material to match those of the existing dwellinghouse. As such, it is not considered the proposed rear extension would lead to any detrimental impact 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.2 and No.4 Arnolds Close. In terms of neighbouring amenity, the alignment of the street results in an angled relationship between dwellings, ensuring a sufficient separation distance between neighbouring properties. The proposed rear extension would be separated some 16 metres from No.2 and some 20 metres from No.4. Given the adequate separation distances to these neighbouring dwellings, the proposed alterations to existing windows and the addition of new doors to the side elevations would not give rise to any unacceptable overlooking, loss of privacy or overbearing impact. Considering the above, no detrimental impact on occupants of these neighbouring dwellings, as a result of the works, would be deemed to arise. All other neighbouring properties are sufficiently separated as to where they would not be affected.
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.
Clifton Parish Council were consulted on the application and have raised no comments. The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received.
The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with, Policies CPH1 and CPH2 of the Clifton Neighbourhood Plan, 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.
