)Reasons for granting
The host dwelling is a two storey, brick built, semi-detached property with a tiled pitched roof with a single garage to the side attached by a boundary wall. The host dwelling, is located within Miletree Crescent in Dunstable and is surrounded by properties of similar design.
The proposal is for a single storey front extension which would would be 2.4 metres wide by 1.5 metres deep and have a mono-pitched roof an overall height of 3.6 metres and a height of 2.4 metres to the eaves. The front façade would have a single door and glazing to match the existing arrangement.
The proposed extension would be readily visible from the street scene and several nearby properties have had front extensions of varying design. The proposal would have matching brickwork and tiles and as such would be in keeping with the character of the host dwelling. Due to scale and design it is considered that the proposal would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and as such would be in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, and Chapter 14 (DP3) of the NPPF.
In terms of neighbouring amenity, the extension would be sited nearest to the boundary with neighbouring property
No. 32 Miletree Crescent. This neighbour is separated by 4.0 metres, however, the proposal would have the same outlook as the existing front façade.

No. 28 Miletree Crescent is the next neighbour located to the north of the applicant. This neighbour is orientated away from the proposal and is separated by 9.0 metres. It is therefore considered that the proposal would not have a detrimental impact on the residential amenities of this neighbour.

)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.
