)Reasons for granting:
The proposed dormer to the rear roofslope would be set off the ridgeline and would appear subservient to the main dwelling. Moreover, the rear dormer would not be readily visible to the street scene. Whilst, the dormer is fairly large, it is set down from the main ridge line and set up from the eaves, so would appear acceptable in appearance. As such, the rear dormer would not be considered to result in harm to the character and appearance of the area. The dormer would be finished in black timber cladding or black upvc cladding which would both be considered to form appropriate alterations. The application site is not in the conservation area and the street has no specific character designation. A varied design of dwellings, with use of a variety of materials, characterise the streetscene and as such, it is considered that the materials proposed would appear respectful of the surrounding area, and the host dwelling itself. Therefore, this aspect of the proposal would not be deemed to result in any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area. The front rooflight would be visible to the streetscene however it would be considered small and modest in scale and would not be considered to result in harm to the character and appearance of the area.
The proposed rear dormer due to its positioning in relation to No.9 Hanover Place and No.7 Tudor Close would lead to potential oblique views over the private amenity space. However, similar views would be afforded by the existing rear dormers. In addition, a degree of overlooking of neighbouring gardens is not uncommon in residential areas. Therefore, the dormer window and the proposed distance from adjacent properties would not exacerbate the existing relationship between the application site and neighbouring properties by way of and unacceptable level of overlooking or a loss of privacy.
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.
The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received, the Parish Council had no comments.
It is considered that the proposal will be in accordance with Section 12 of the NPPF, Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Parking Standards in new development SPD and Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.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.
