- Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons for granting The application site is a two-storey detached dwelling located on Derwent Road within a cul-de-sac in Linslade near Leighton Buzzard. No. 100 is constructed of brickwork, white uPVC windows and doors, guttering and has a tiled pitched roof and is surrounded by properties of similar design. The proposal consists of a garage conversion to a leisure room with the introduction of a bay window which includes converting the current flat roof to a pitched roof which will raise the current height from 2.80m to 4.00m approximately. The proposal would not result in an increase in the properties footprint, but the installation of a bay window on the front elevation and a change in roof height and style. However, these would both be considered minor alterations that would not have a material impact on the character and appearance of the area. Therefore, the proposal is not considered to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area and is in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan. In terms of neighbouring amenity, the proposed extension would only include the bay window and the roof change which is visible from the street scene and the neighbouring property, the proposal is sandwiched between the two elevations of the applicant and the neighbouring property. Therefore this is deemed to have little visual impact and overall is considered to have an acceptable neighbour amenity impact, complying with section 12 of the NPPF, policy HQ1 of the central Bedfordshire Local Plan Section 11 of Central Bedfordshire Design Guide 2023. The proposal does not lead to any additional bedrooms, and the garage conversion does not impact on the properties current parking capacity of two parking spaces. Therefore, adequate parking provision has been retained on site and the proposal is considered to be in conformity with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan. Leighton-Linslade Town Council were consulted and raised no comments. 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 application site is a two-storey detached dwelling located on Derwent Road within a cul-de-sac in Linslade near 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.
