)Reasons For Granting
The property is an end terrace dwelling located along Station Road in Woburn Sands. A public footpath runs along the southern and western boundary of the site.
The proposal consists of the demolition of an existing outbuilding which is attached to the main dwellinghouse, and the erection of a single storey rear extension measuring a width of 4m, a depth of 3.4m and finished in a crown roof with an eaves height of 2.1m, and a ridge height of 3m.
The proposed extension would be located to the rear, and as such would not be visible to the streetscene of Station Road. The proposal would be visible along the public highway running along the side elevation, however it is noted that the existing outbuilding is currently in place along this boundary. Despite a slight increase in height, it is not considered that this proposed extension would have any undue impacts on the character and appearance along this public highway.
As such, the proposal would not lead to any detrimental harm to the visual amenities of the host dwelling or surrounding area.
The proposed extension would bring built form closer to the attached adjacent neighbour (35 Station Road) than the existing extension. However this extension would still remain modest in size and scale, and would not be considered to detrimentally impact the amenities of this neighbouring property. It is noted that the boundary treatments between the two properties is minimal in the form of a low fenceline, however due to the single storey nature and the separation distance from the main dwellinghouse of this neighbour, this proposal would not lead to any undue harm with regards to neighbouring amenities.
The proposal would remain separated from the other adjacent neighbour (31A Station Road) by the pedestrian access, as well as two high boundary walls and green material. As such, it is considered that this proposal would remain sufficiently screened from this adjacent neighbour, and therefore would not lead to any further loss of privacy or overbearing impacts on this adjacent neighbour.
All other properties are considered to be sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impact.
The proposal would not include the creation of any further bedrooms on the application site, and would not impact the existing parking provision of the application site. Therefore, adequate parking provision has been retained, and the proposal would remain in conformity with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
Aspley Guise Parish Council were consulted on this application, and no comments were received. 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 of the surrounding area. Additionally, this proposal would also not introduce any detrimental harm to the residential amenities of neighbouring properties. As such, the proposal would remain 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.
