- Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )The application site is 6 Omega Court, Leighton Buzzard and is situated along Omega Court. The host dwelling is a semi-detached dwelling and is surrounded by dwellings that are similar in scale and design. The proposed development would include the erection of single storey side and rear extension to form a wraparound extension. Rooflights are proposed to the rear roofslope of the extension. With regards to character and appearance, the proposed single storey side extension would be visible along Omega Court, whilst the rear extension would not be visible along Omega Court given its siting to the rear of the host dwelling, it would be visible from the play area located to the rear of the site. Having regard to the siting, scale and design of the proposal, it is considered that the extension would form an appropriate addition to the application site. The proposed extension would be finished in materials to match the architectural features of the host dwelling. Therefore, the proposal would not detract away from the existing external finish of the host dwelling. As such, the proposed development would not be considered to result in a harmful impact to the host dwelling or to the character and appearance of the area. In terms of impact on neighbouring amenity, the proposal would be marginally set off the shared boundary with neighbouring properties: 7, 8 and 9 Omega Court (located to the east of the application site) and there would be a further separation distance from the nearest built form of these neighbours. Therefore, the proposal would not give rise to a detrimental harm to the amenities of the occupants at these properties. In terms of No. 5 Omega Court, the proposed single storey rear element of the proposal would be sited immediately adjacent to the shared boundary of this neighbour. The rear extension would protrude some 2.1 metres beyond No. 5 rear built form. No. 5 has a window and doors to the rear. The proposal would result in a minor loss of light to the rear fenestration of No. 5. Whilst the proposal cannot be implemented under permitted development given it forms a wraparound addition to the host dwelling, projections of 3 metres along a shared boundary under permitted development are commonplace. Having regard to the above, it is considered on balance that the proposal would not result in a detrimental overbearingness or loss of light to No. 5. The application site is located within the Chilterns Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation (SAC). However, as no additional residential units are proposed, the proposal is not considered to have a detrimental impact upon the SAC. It is therefore considered that the proposal as a whole would not result in any material impact on the residential amenities of any neighbouring properties and would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area. The proposal is therefore considered to be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (CBLP). With regards to parking, on the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate parking has been retained. The development does not create any additional bedrooms and as such will not be required to demonstrate further onsite parking. The application was subject to public consultation and no representation were received. Leighton-Linslade Town Council were consulted on the application and raised no objection to the proposal. The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2, T3 of the CBLP (2021), Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide (2023) and Section 12 of the NPPF.The application site is 6 Omega Court, Leighton Buzzard and is situated along Omega Court.

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.
