Application Withdrawn Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons for Granting: The application site is a two-storey, end-of-terrace dwelling located to the northeast side of Broad Street, Clifton. No. 95 is finished in white render with a tiled gable roof and is surrounded by dwellings of varied age and design. The proporty currenlty benefits from a single storey rear extension, rear conservatory, single carport and open canopy porch. The proposal includes the demolition of conservatory, 2 outhouses, porch, and entrance canopy. Erection of two storey, part single storey rear extension, and conversion of car port into habitable space and new front canopy and rendering. The proposed rear extension would have a maximum depth of 8.2, a maximum depth of 8.8 metres, a single storey flat roof height to 3.1 metres, a first storey eaves height of 5.5 metres and a maximum gable roof height of some 6.8 metres. The proposed porch canopy would have a depth of 1.1 metres, a width of 3.8 metres, a height to the eaves of 3 metres and a maximum gable roof height of some 4.1 metres. The overall footprint of the property would increase by some 37.2 square metres, and the overall floorspace would increase by some 79.2 square metres. Broad Street is characterised by terraced and semi-detached dwellings of varied age and design. Rear extensions, both single-storey and two-storey, to other properties across the area are noted, and therefore the proposal is not considered to be at odds with the existing grain and pattern of development. The proposed rear extensions would be confined to the rear of the property and would sit within the footprint of existing hard standing, rear conservatory and two outbuuildings. On the basis of design and scale, whislt it is accepted that the proposal would represent a significant addition to the dwelling it would remain a subervient addition to the host dwelling. The two-storey elements would remain set down from the ridge height of the host dwelling by some 0.35 metres and would incorperate a gable roof style to match that of the host dwelling. To the front of the dwelling the proposed porch canopy and carport conversion would be readily visibel within the streetscene of Broad Street. the proposal would form a proportionate addition to the existing dwellinghouse which would include a hipped roof and the use of materials to match that of the host dwelling. As such, it is not considered that the proposal would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.� Regarding the siting of the proposal, the most potentially impacted neighbouring dwellings are deemed to be adjoining properties No. 75 and No. 89 Station Road. In terms of neighbouring amenity, to the southeast, the proposed rear extension would be sited adjacent to the shared boundary with No. 75 and would surpass the rear projection this neighbouring dwelling by some 3.2 metres. Given the staggered orientation of these neighbouring dwellings and the modest height of the proposed eaves, it is not considered that the proposed development would give rise to any loss of light or overbearing impact on this neighbouring dwelling. To the northwest, the proposal would be separated some 4.6 metres from the shared boundary with this neighbouring dwelling, given this separation distance it is not considered that the proposal would give rise to any detrimental impacts on the amenity to the occupants of this neighbouring dwelling. The proposal includes the installation of rooflights to the southeast and northwest roof slopes of the rear extension, these would be upward facing and therefore there would be no material impact on neighbouring residential amenity in terms of overlooking or loss of privacy. All other neighbouring dwellings are sufficiently separated and/ or screened from the proposal as to where they would not be detrimentally impacted. The proposal does not create any additional bedrooms and therefore would not be required to demonstrate further onsite parking. The development would not adversely affect the existing parking or access arrangements at the application site and would therefore be acceptable on a like-for-like basis. Langford Parish Council were consulted on this application and did not provide any comments. The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received. The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with Policy PD3 of the Langford Neighbourhood Plan, Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 11 of Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, Parking Standards for New Developments SPD and Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).Reasons for Granting: The application site is a two-storey, end-of-terrace dwelling located to the northeast side of Broad Street, Clifton.

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.
