)Reasons for granting
The application site is a semi-detached chalet style proporty stone built with a pitched tiled roof with two front dormer windows. No. 5 is set within Cranfield village and surrounded by properties of varying design, it is also adjacent to a number of Grade I and II listed buildings.
The proposal is for a single storey front porch extension which would be constructed of similar stone and have a pitched roof with a door to the front and a single window to the proposed side elevation facing north west. The proposal is to be 2.70m wide by 1.70m deep with a height of 2.60m to the eaves and an overal height of 4.0m sitting central to the property. The current arrangement has a flush door entrance with paved sloping entrance with low side walls either side coming off of the property parking area to the front.
Both nearby listed buildings have significant seperation distance of 20m and 45m. The proposed materials would match the existing stone work and plain tile roof of the host dwelling and is therefore sympathetic to the original host dwelling, not considered to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area and is in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
In terms of neighbouring amenity, the proposal does not result in an unacceptable loss of light to the neighbouring property no. 7 and the proposed elevation is seperated by 4.0m of the boundary. The proposed side elevation with the single window would be facing the neighbouring properties no. 1 and 3 Court Road, but there is a garage wall facing the applicant with an approximate seperation of 11.0m. Overall, due to the scale of the proposal it is considered to have an acceptable neighbour amenity impact, complying with Section 12 of the NPPF, Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and Section 11 of Central Bedfordshire Design Guide 2023.
The extension does not impact on existing parking space as it would be combined with the existing walkway up to the front entrance and the site already has ample parking for three cars which is deemed acceptable parking space, therefore complies with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and the Parking Standards for New Developments SPD, it is considered that the condition to replace the loss of parking would be in accordance with paragraph 116 of the NPPF.
Cranfield Parish Council were consulted and raised no objection to the proposal. The application was subject to public consultation, though no objections were raised.
The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and Section 11 of Central Bedfordshire Design Guide 2023.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.
