- Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons for Granting: The application site comprises of a semi-detached, two-storey dwelling located along Norman Road in Barton-le-Clay. The host dwelling is constructed of brickwork. The wider area is characterised by similar palette of material. The proposed development would include single storey front/side extension and garage conversion. First floor side extension with a rooflight. In terms of character and appearance, the proposed first floor side extension would be set back from the principal elevation of the host dwelling by 1 metre and the height of the extension would be below the ridgeline of the existing host dwelling by some 0.3 metres which accords with the requirements of the Design Guide. This aspect of the proposal would also be sited some 1 metre away from the common boundary with No. 147 Norman Road as such the first floor side extension would seek to avoid the terracing effect. The proposed single storey front/side extension and garage conversion would be deemed appropriate additions to the host dwelling and would not detract from the character and appearance of the area where there are similar examples of single storey extension most notably No. 147 Norman Road. Therefore, the proposal are not considered to result in undue harm to the character and appearance of the area. With regards to neighbouring amenity, the proposed single storey front / side extension would be sited immediately adjacent to the shared boundary with No. 147 Norman Road. However, these aspects of the proposal would not protrude beyond the existing built form at No. 147. Therefore, it is not considered that these aspects of the proposal would give rise to unacceptable harm to the amenities of the occupants at this property. No. 143 Norman Road would be sufficient distance from the single storey front / side extension. As such, it is not considered that a significant harm would arise to the neighbouring amenities of the occupants at this property. The proposed garage conversion due to its proportionate design, would not result in a harmful overbearing impact, loss of light, loss of outlook, overlooking or loss of privacy to Numbers: 143 and 147 Norman Road. The proposed first floor side extension would be screened by existing built form at the host dwelling. Therefore, it is not considered that this aspect of the proposal would give rise to unacceptable harm to the amenities of the occupants at No. 143. The first floor side extension would be sited some 1 metre away from the shared boundary with No. 147 Norman Road. From the Officer's site visit it was noted that No. 147 has no windows on the side flank wall that faces onto the application site. Therefore, given the first floor side extension is marginally set off the shared boundary with No. 147 it is not considered that this aspect of the proposal would give rise to a significant harm to the amenities of No. 147 Norman Road. Neighbouring dwellings: 1, 3 and 5 Hastings Road are sited to the side / rear of the site and would be sufficiently separated by some 9.9 metres from the shared boundary and there would be a further separation distance from the rear built form of these neighbours. Moreover, the proposed first floor rear window would provide a similar view to that of the existing fenestration on the rear elevation of the dwelling and would therefore not give rise to any further overlooking impacts. It is therefore considered that the proposal as a whole would not result in a significant 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). In terms of parking, on the basis of the scale and nature of the development, adequate parking is achievable and has been retained. The proposal would not appear to increase the bedrooms within the dwelling at the application site, and therefore would be acceptable on a like-for-like basis. The application was subject to public consultation and no representation were received. Barton-le-Clay Parish Council were consulted on the application and raised no comments to the proposal. The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2, T3 of the CBLP (2021), Policies DND1 and TRA1 of the Barton-le Clay Neighbourhood Plan, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide (2023) and Policies DP3 and TR3 of the NPPF (2026).Reasons for Granting: The application site comprises of a semi-detached, two-storey dwelling located along Norman Road in Barton-le-Clay.

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.
