- Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons for granting The host dwelling is a semi-detached bungalow, brick built, with a tiled pitched roof located in King Williams Close in Barton-Le-Clay. No. 12 is surrounded by properties of similar design. The proposal is for a single-storey, flat roof, rear extension that would be 6.55m deep by 6.55m wide, with a roof lantern with an overall height of 3.7m. There would be bi-fold doors to the rear with a new door, window and side glazing looking onto the shared boundary of no. 14. To the front of the property there is a proposed porch extension that would be 2.56m wide by 1.12m deep with a pitched roof with an overall height of 3.7m high. The proposed porch to the front would be readily visible to the street scene, however, due to its modest size and design it is not deemed detrimental to the character and appearance on the surrounding area. The proposal to the rear, though large in scale, would be single storey and would reflect the two single storey extensions to the rear of both neighbouring properties and, therefore, is not considered that it would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area and as such is in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan. In terms of neighbouring amenity, given the design and siting of the proposed porch it is not considered that it would give rise to any detrimental impact on the residential amenities of any neighbouring dwellings. The proposal to the rear would be sited adjacent to the shared boundary with No. 11. No 11 has an existing single storey extension adjacent to the boundary and the proposal would extend some 1.5 metres beyond the rear elevation of this neighbouring extension. The proposal would comply with the 45 degree guidance for assessing impact on light and would not be considered overbearing. It is considered there would be no loss of privacy to this neighbour. In terms of no 13, the proposal would be sited some 1.2m from the shared boundary with this neighbour. Due to the relationship, separation and existing built form on the neighbouring property it is considered there would be no material loss of light, or overbearing impact. Additional fenestration is proposed on the side elevation of the proposed rear extension facing this neighbour, however, given the separation distance, and boundary treatment present it is not considered that there would be any material loss of privacy to this neighbour. As such, it is considered that the proposal would be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and Section 12 of the NPPF. The proposal to the rear would not lead to any additional bedrooms, however, the extension to the front would extend into the front parking area. Due to the design and siting of the proposal and the depth of the front driveway, sufficient parking would be retained. Barton-Le-Clay Parish Council were consulted and raised no objection to the proposal. The application was subject to public consultation, though no objections were raised. The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, and Section 11 of Central Bedfordshire Design Guide 2023.Reasons for granting The host dwelling is a semi-detached bungalow, brick built, with a tiled pitched roof located in King Williams Close in Barton-Le-Clay.

Any other consent or approval which is necessary must be obtained from the appropriate authority. 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.
