)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a detached dwelling located along Pennivale Close in Leighton Buzzard. The proposal consists of the erection of a single storey rear and side extension, which is finished in a flat roof. This extension would lead to the demolition of an existing single storey rear extension.
The proposed extension would be located to the rear and side of the site, and due to an existing attached garage to the side of the property, this proposal would not be visible to the streetscene of Pennivale Close. It is noted that the proposal would be finished in a flat roof, which would contrast with the existing pitched roofs on the main dwellinghouse and the side attached garage. However, due to the modest size of the proposed extension and its location to the rear of the property, it is not considered that this extension would lead to any detrimental impacts to the character and appearance of the host dwelling or the surrounding streetscene.
The side element of this extension would be obscured from a neighbouring property (2 Pennivale Close) by the bulk of the main dwellinghouse, and as such would not lead to any impacts on this adjacent neighbour. Additionally, the proposed rear extension would match the footprint of the existing single storey rear extension, and therefore would not encroach any further built form towards this neighbour. As such, this proposal would not lead to any additional residential impacts on this neighbouring property.
The proposal would be built to the boundary with this other adjacent neighbour (4 Pennivale Close), however it is noted that due to the orientation of this property, the proposal would be located in proximity to the rear garden of this neighbour. Additionally, it is noted that the boundary between the two properties is a high fenceline, which would obscure the proposal from this neighbour. Therefore, due to the single storey nature of the proposal, as well as the boundary treatment, it is not considered that this proposal would lead to any detrimental impacts to the amenities of neighbouring properties.
All other properties are considered to be sufficiently separated from the main dwellinghouse for there to be any material impacts.
The proposed extension would not lead to any additional bedrooms to be proposed within the property, and would not impact the existing parking provision on the site. As such, adequate parking provision has been retained, and the proposal remain in conformity with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
Leighton-Linslade Town Council were consulted on this application, and raised no objection to the proposal. 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 not considered that this application would lead to any detrimental impacts to the character and appearance of the surrounding area. Additionally, the proposal would not lead to any detrimental harm to the residential amenities of neighbouring properties. As such, the proposal is considered to 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.
