Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.

- Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons for Granting The application site is a large, two-storey, detached dwelling located on Faulkners Way in Linslade. No 28 is constructed of brickwork with a tiled pitched roof with a double garage which has already been converted into living space and has a pitched tiled roof. No. 28 is surrounded by properties of similar design. The proposal is for the converted garage to be extended to the rear by 5.15m to be flush with the rear elevation, which would contain a door and window to the rear and a new window to the side. The proposal would not be visible to the street scene but would see an increase to the property footprint. However, the proposal would have matching brickwork and tiles to keep in character with the neighbouring properties and therefore it is not deemed detrimental to the character and appearance on the surrounding area and as such is 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. In terms of neighbouring amenity, there are no privacy concerns regarding the installation of the window to the rear elevation as the application site does not overlook any neighbouring properties to the rear. No. 26, Faulkners Way has existing fenestration to the side which would be overlooking the proposal, the proposal would introduce a small window on this side elevation, however, the window would service a WC and a condition to require obscure glazing will be appended to any forthcoming planning permission. Overall, the proposal is considered to have an acceptable neighbour amenity impact, complying with Section 12 of the NPPF, Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and Section 11 of Central Bedfordshire Design Guide 2023. The proposal would create 1 additional bedroom and it is assumed would take the total number of bedrooms at the property to 4, which would require 3 off-street parking spaces to be provided. There would be sufficient space at the front of the property to facilitate 3 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. Leighton-Linslade Town Council were consulted and raised no objection. 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 large, two-storey, detached dwelling located on Faulkners Way in Linslade.

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.
