- Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons for Granting The application site is a two-storey semi-detached dwelling located in Appleby Gardens in Dunstable. No. 45 is constructed of brickwork with a tiled pitched roof with a connected single garage to the side and porch with a flat roof. The applicant is surrounded by properties of similar design. The proposal consists of a front porch to be constructed of brickwork and widened with the flat roof over the garage and porch to be replaced with a mono pitched roof. The porch will be widened and extended forward, level with the garage. The extended porch would be 2.32m wide and the pitched roof would make the proposal 3.5m high. To the rear is an existing, single storey, flat roof extension, the proposal is to introduce two roof lights. The increase in footprint of the proposal would be minimal. These changes are considered to be minor alterations, there are a number of properties along the street with different variations of the proposal. The changes to the rear extension will have a minimal impact. Therefore, it is deemed the proposal would have no material impact on the character and appearance of the area. 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, there are a number of properties within close proximity of the applicant who have had porches added to the front elevation with pitched mono roofs including the neighbouring property no.47 Appleby Gardens. The proposal to the rear extension, due to design and scale would have no material impact on the neighbouring properties. All other neighbouring properties are sufficiently separated to ensure there would be no impact to residential amenity. Overall, the proposal is considered to have an acceptable neighbouring 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. The proposal would have no impact on off street parking due to there being no change to the garage and the proposed change to the porch is minimal. The existing driveway, to the front would maintain its existing off road parking capacity. Under policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and the Parking Standards for New Developments SPD, it is considered that adequate parking provision has been retained on site, the proposal is considered to be in conformity with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.

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.
