)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a two-storey detached dwelling located on Braeburn Way in Cranfield. The host dwelling is finished in cream render and the detached double garage is red brickwork. The proposal consists of the conversion of the garage to a garden/games room, as incidental use to the main dwellinghouse. The proposal includes a brick infill and installation of two windows to the front elevation, and a brick infill to the existing door and installation of bi-fold doors in the side elevation. There would be no additional built form on site resulting from this proposal.
There would be fenestration changes to the front elevation of the garage which would be readily visible to the streetscene. Braeburn Way is characterised by dwellings of a similar design and scale. The proposed alterations would be set back from the public highway and the proposed materials would be white uPVC windows and the brick infill would match those of the existing garage. Due to the nature of the proposed works, it would not be considered to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
Given the siting, design and scale of the proposal, with no additional built form, it would not be considered to result in any loss of light or overbearing impact to any neighbouring dwelling. The proposed bi-fold doors in the side elevation would have views into the garden of the main dwelling and screened by boundary treatment and existing built form of the dwelling and the neighbouring garage. As such, the proposal would not result in any detrimental loss of privacy to any neighbouring dwelling.
According to the Parking Standards SPD, a four-bedroom dwelling would require three off-street parking spaces, and the conversion of the garage would result in the loss of one off-street parking space. The site benefits from a large driveway, and can accommodate up to four off-street parking spaces. As such, the proposal is unlikely to impact the off-street parking provision on site or the public highway.
Cranfield Parish Council were consulted on this application and raised no objections. The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received.
The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with 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.
