Informative Notes:
1 )Reasons for Granting: The application site is a detached, two and a half-storey dwelling located along Moat Farm Close in Marston Moreteyne. The proposal is for the erection of a single storey side/rear extension with a roof lantern. It would have a maximum depth of 5 metres, an overall width of 9.7 metres and a flat roof with a height of 3 meters. It would largely be of an infill nature, with a 1.5 metre depth increase from the existing rear projection. The proposal would not be visible within the street scene. It would form a modest and appropriate addition to the existing dwellinghouse with brickwork to match the existing dwelling. On the basis of its design and scale, the proposal would not be deemed to have any detrimental impact and would echo the character and appearance of the dwelling. On the basis of the siting of the proposal, the closest neighbouring dwellings are No.41 Denton Drive, and Nos. 31 and 32 Moat Farm Close. The rear elevation of No.41 Denton Drive extends further back than the application site and would be sufficiently separated and screened from the proposal by the existing built form. Nos. 31 and 32 would be sufficiently separated and/or screened from the proposed single storey extension. As such, the proposal would not result in any loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact. The proposal would not increase the number of bedrooms, and therefore the existing parking arrangement is acceptable on a like-for-like basis. The proposal is unlikely to negatively impact the off-street parking on the site or the public highway. Marston Moreteyne Parish Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection. The Council's Archaeologist and Tree Officer were also consulted and have 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: The application site is a detached, two and a half-storey dwelling located along Moat Farm Close in Marston Moreteyne.

5 )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.
