- Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons for Granting: The application site is a two storey semi-detached dwelling located along Station Road in Lidlington. The proposal consists of the erection of a single storey rear extension, with a stepped depth of 4 metres from the existing rear elevation, and 3 metres from the existing rear projection. The proposed extension would not be visible within the streetscene. Due to the single storey, flat roof nature, it would appear subservient to the original dwelling, in accordance with the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide. It would be finished in cream weatherboard cladding, which is of a similar appearance to the neighbouring dwelling's extension which is cream-coloured render. Overall, the proposal would not be deemed to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area or the host dwelling. In terms of neighbouring amenity, the proposed single storey rear extension would be sited adjacent to the shared boundary with No.5 Station Road. This neighbouring dwelling sites an existing single storey rear extension along the boundary with a tall party wall between the two dwellings. The proposal would extend a further 3 metres along the shared boundary. The neighbouring dwelling has large patio doors in the rear extension, as such the proposed extension would be unlikely to result in a detrimental loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact to No.5. All other neighbouring dwellings, including No.9 Station Road are sufficiently separated and/or screened from the proposal and would not be detrimentally impacted in terms of loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact. The proposal would not create an additional bedroom or impact the existing parking arrangement at the site, and as such the proposal is acceptable on a like-for-like basis. Therefore, in accordance with the Parking Standards SPD, the development would be unlikely to result in an impact to the public highway. Lidlington Parish Council were consulted on the application and had no comments to make. The Council's Ecologist was also consulted on the proposal and raised no objections. The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received. The proposal on balance is 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 two storey semi-detached dwelling located along Station Road in Lidlington.

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.
