- Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons for granting: The application site is a semi-detached dwelling on East Street, Leighton Buzzard. The proposal is for a single storey front extension and alterations to the front dormer. The single storey front extension with a new mono pitched roof, would be prominent within the general streetscene, however due to the modest proportions and appropriate design for the original dwelling house, it is considered that it would not have a negative impact upon the character and appearance of the area. The front dormer window alterations would not be considered to result in harm to the character and appearance of the area. The proposed front porch and extension would be set on the boundary with No. 104 East Street. Given it's small scale and the front extension passing the assessment for loss of light outlined in Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide it is not considered that the proposal would lead to significant impact upon the neighbouring amenity enjoyed by this neighbour. All other properties are sufficiently separated from the front extension. The front dormer window alterations is not considered to impact the privacy of any neighbouring properties due to the presence of existing front windows at the property. Given the nature of the development parking at the front of site would be impacted as the front extension would extend into the existing driveway. As measured from Plan No. 01 three parking spaces are still achievable on site. As such is not considered to cause a detrimental impact to the highway. The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received, Leighton-Linslade Town Council raised no objections. It is considered that the proposal will be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Parking Standards in new development SPD, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and Section 14 of the NPPF.Reasons for granting: The application site is a semi-detached dwelling on East Street, 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.
