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 located on the entrance to Mill End Close in Eaton Bray. No 11 is constructed of brickwork with a tiled pitched roof and is surrounded by proporties of similar design. The proposal consists of conversion of garage, blocking up and inserting a window. Replacement of windows and doors to the rear conservatory and replacement roof with tiles. The proposal would not result in an increase in the properties footprint or height, but the installation of a window on the front elevation and the replacement tiles on the conservatory would be visible from the side elevation (south) over the top of a brick boundary wall. However, these would both be considered minor alterations that would not have a material impact on the character and appearance of the area. Therefore, 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 no privacy concerns regarding the installation of the window on the front elevation as a property opposite has had a similar garage conversion. The alterations to the front of the property would be visible from a number of properties on Mill End Close, however, due to the limited scale of the alterations they are not considered to have a detrimental impact on residential amenities. The same with the proposed changes to the conservatory, as the alterations are not considered to have a detrimental impact on residential amenities. 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 does not lead to any additional bedrooms but would see the removal of an off-street parking space through the garage conversion, however, sufficient space has been retained on the driveway to facilitate 3 parking spaces which meets the requirements for a 4-bedroom property. Therefore, adequate parking provision has been retained on site and the proposal is considered to be in conformity with Policies T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan. Eaton Bray Council and Natural England 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 two-storey detached dwelling located on the entrance to Mill End Close in Eaton Bray.

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.
