- Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons for granting The application site is a brick-built bungalow with a pitched tiled roof located on Staveley Road in Dunstable. No. 11 is surrounded by properties of similar design. The proposal is for flat roofed dormers to the front and rear of the property, the dormers would have tiles hanging to the front and side elevations. The proposed dormer to the front elevation would have three windows and have an overall depth of 1.6m with the dormer to the rear having two windows, and an overall depth of 2.6m, both dormers would sit within the roof slope and would not exceed the height of the existing ridge. There are several examples of front and rear dormers within the vicinity of the application site. Overall, given the design and presence of other dormers within the surrounding area, it is considered that the proposal would not be at odds with the existing grain of development and would not have a material impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. As such, the proposal is considered to 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. In terms of neighbouring amenity, the front dormers would be well contained within the front roof slope and well separated from neighbouring dwellings as to where no adverse loss of light or overbearing impact would be deemed to arise. The rear dormer is much larger in size, but similar developments are located along Staveley Road. The immediate neighbour No. 9 and connected to the applicants property does not have a dormer to the rear. However, No. 9 has a large single storey extension to the rear and therefore it is deemed that there would be no adverse loss of light or overbearing impact and give rise to any detrimental loss of privacy. All other neighbouring properties are sufficiently separated and therefore, it is considered that the proposal would not cause harm to the amenity of any neighbouring dwelling in accordance 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 does not create additional bedrooms by increasing the living on the ground floor and moving the two bedrooms in the loft conversion therefore maintaining the existing capacity of two parking spaces. Therefore, the proposal would retain sufficient off-street parking and is considered to be in conformity with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan. Dunstable Town Council were consulted and raised no comments. The application was subject to public consultation, no representations were received. It is considered that the proposal would 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 brick-built bungalow with a pitched tiled roof located on Staveley Road in Dunstable.

Any other consent or approval which is necessary must be obtained from the appropriate authority. 6 )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.
