)Reasons for Granting:
The application site is a semi-detached, two-storey dwelling located along Grange Road in Ampthill. The proposal is for the erection of a two storey side, and part single part two storey rear extension, including demolition of the existing car port and shed, and the addition of a roof lantern.
The proposed extension, which is of a wraparound nature, would be visible within the street scene and from the footpath that runs along the south-east of the application site. There is an existing example of a two storey side and rear extension on a neighbouring dwelling, No.71 Oliver Street. It is considered that the proposed extension would form an appropriate addition to the existing dwellinghouse, with a subservient appearance and materials to match the existing dwelling. On the basis of its design and scale, the proposal would not be deemed to have any detrimental impact upon the character and appearance of the area.
The adjoining neighbouring dwelling, No.73 Oliver Street, features a single-storey rear extension along the shared boundary, projecting approximately 4 metres from the rear elevation. The proposed extension would not project further than the existing single storey rear extension. In addition, the proposed two-storey extension would be sufficiently separated from the neighbouring dwelling, and would comply with the 45 degree rule of light, as shown on drawing number: CM/TP/2120-02. As such, the proposal would not result in an overbearing impact, loss of privacy or loss of light to the occupiers of this neighbouring dwelling.
The neighbouring dwelling to the east, No.77 Oliver Street, would be sufficiently separated by approximately 9 metres and sited forward of the application site. The proposed window in the side elevation would serve a bathroom and be the existing window from the rear elevation, which is obscurely glazed. All other properties are considered to be sufficiently separated and/or screened from the proposal. As such, the proposal would not result in any loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact to the amenity of neighbouring dwellings.
The proposal would increase the number of bedrooms from two to three. A 3-bedroom dwelling would be expected to provide two off-street parking spaces, in accordance with the Council's Parking Standards for New Developments SPD. The provided parking plan shows this requirement can be achieved to the front of the dwelling.
Ampthill Town Council were consulted on this application and supports the proposal. 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 Sections 9 and 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.
