- 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 with large interconnecting garages between the properties located on Home Farm Way on the outskirts of Westoning. No 24 is constructed of brickwork with tiled cladding to the first floor with a tiled pitched roof and is surrounded by properties of similar design. The proposal is for a garden outbuilding made of timber and has a pitched, EPDM apex roof. The timber cabin would be 4.00m wide by 7.4m long with an overall height of 3.58m. A door and window would be facing into the garden. The outbuilding would be sited to the rear of the property and would not be readily visible from the street scene, therefore would not be an adverse impact upon the visual character of the wider area. The property backs onto farmland and has two existing timber structures. The outbuilding would measure 7.4m in length x 4.0m in width which is considered to be large for a garden outbuilding, however, the outbuilding would be of a similar scale as the existing outbuilding and would remain proportionate to the size of the plot, therefore the scale of the building would likely be deemed acceptable. As a result, the proposal would be considered to have an acceptable impact upon 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 border treatment consists of fencing and hedging along the shared boundaries with No. 25 Home Farm Way which would screen views from any windows/doors within the side elevation of the outbuilding towards the side of the garden and neighbouring property no. 23 . The proposal would not result in any harmful loss of light and overbearing impact due to the location and seperation from this neighbour. The proposal would back onto an existing structure in neighbouring property No. 26 whose curtalige, dog legs around neighbouring property No. 25. All other neighbouring properties are sufficiently separated from the outbuilding, avoiding any harmful neighbour amenity impacts. There are no privacy concerns regarding the installation of the outbuilding and it is not considered to have a detrimental impact on residential amenities. Overall, the proposal is considered to have an acceptable neighbour amenity impact, complying with Chapter 14 of the NPPF, Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and Section 11 of Central Bedfordshire Design Guide 2023. Westoning Parish Council was consulted and raised no objection. Central Bedfordshire Council, Ecologist officers was consulted and raised no objection apart from stating that any trees in the area should be retained where possible.The application was subject to public consultation, and no representations 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 with large interconnecting garages between the properties located on Home Farm Way on the outskirts of Westoning.

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.
