)Reasons For Granting
The host dwelling is a two storey semi-detached dwelling located on a corner plot between Elmwood Crescent and Lime Close. This proposal consists of a single storey side and rear extension facing the public highway of Lime Close. It is noted that the application site currently benefits from an existing flat roofed single storey rear extension.
The side element of this proposal would measure a width of 4m, a depth of 11.4m and would be finished with a mono pitched roof measuring an eaves height of 2.5m, and a ridge height of 3.95m. The rear element would attach to an existing single storey flat roofed extension measuring 3.3m, and would act as an infill between the existing rear and proposed side extensions.
Due to the location of the application site as a corner plot, the proposed side extension would be a highly prominent addition of to the main dwellinghouse and wider streetscene. The rear extension would be also be visible to the streetscene, although obscured from the streetscene of Elmwood Crescent by the proposed side element.
It is noted that the mono pitched roof formation contains a high ridge height which would encompass the first floor side window, and would create a contrasting roof formation with the proposed flat roofed rear extension. However, due to the modest size of the side elevation, as well as the matching to existing roof formations of the main dwellinghouse and existing rear extension, it is considered that the proposal would not lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding streetscene.
The proposals would be obscured from the attached neighbour (50 Elmwood Crescent) by the bulk of the main dwellinghouse and the existing rear extension to the rear.
Furthermore, the rear element of the proposal would remain separated from the adjacent neighbour to the rear (14 Lime Close), by some 20.3m. Therefore, the proposal would not lead to any material impacts to the amenities of this neighbour.
All other properties are considered to be sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impacts.
The amount of bedrooms located on the application site is unclear, however it is noted that an area of hardstanding to the front of the property is currently used for parking provision, and would be retained within this application.
Flitwick Town Council were consulted on this application and raised no comment. This application was also subject to a public and neighbour consultation, and no representations were received.
Given the siting, design and scale of the proposal it is considered that this application would not lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance to the surrounding area. Additionally, the proposal would not lead to any detrimental impacts to the residential amenities of neighbouring properties. Therefore, the proposal would be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and 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.
