- Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons For Granting The application site consists of a two-storey end terrace property located on a corner plot of Garland Way in Leighton Buzzard. The proposal consists of a single storey rear extension measuring a width of 4.3m, a depth of 2.6m and finished with a mono pitched roof measuring an eaves height of 2.5m, and a highest point of 3.5m. Two rooflights are also proposed to be set into the roofslope of this extension. Due to the nature of the site as a corner plot, glimpsing views of the proposed extension may be visible over the existing perimeter wall. However as the proposal is considered to be single storey, the bulk of this extension would be obscured. Additionally, due to the modest depth and width of the extension, which would fall within permitted development tolerances, it is not considered that this proposal would lead to any detrimental harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The proposed extension would be built to the boundary with the adjacent neighbour to the north (14 Garland Way). It is noted that this adjacent neighbour has also benefited from an extension to their property of an identical depth. This neighbouring extension is a conservatory with clear panelled sides, and therefore it is considered that this proposal may obscure the light visible to the southern facing side elevation. However, due to the modest size of the proposal which would not extend beyond this neighbouring built form, as well as the bulk of the extension falling within permitted development tolerances, it is not considered that this application would lead to a significantly detrimental loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact on this adjacent neighbour. All other properties are considered to be sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impact due to the nature of the site as a corner plot. The proposal would not lead to the creation of any further bedrooms on the application site, and would not alter the existing parking provision on the application site. As such, adequate parking provision is considered to be retained, and therefore this proposal would remain in conformity with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan. Leighton-Linslade Town Council have been consulted on this application, and no objection has been received. 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 considered that the application would not lead to any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. Additionally, it is considered that the proposal would not lead to any detrimental impacts on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties. Therefore, the proposal would be considered to be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and Section 12 of the NPPF.Reasons For Granting The application site consists of a two-storey end terrace property located on a corner plot of Garland Way in Leighton Buzzard.

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.
