- Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons for granting: The application site is a two-storey dwelling on Holly Farm Close, Caddington. The application follows pre-application advice for a similar scheme, and additional works, concerns were raised regarding the scale, bulk and massing of the first-floor front extension over the garage and the impact this would have on the character and appearance of the area. The proposed development has taken on board these comments and first-floor front extension over the garage has been removed from the scheme prior to submission. The proposed garage enlargement and link infill extension between the dwelling and garage would be considered subservient in scale and design to the existing dwelling and would not have a significant impact on the character of the area. The proposed rooflights and alterations to the windows and doors, would be considered small and modest in scale and would not be considered to result in harm to the character and appearance of the area. Given the siting of the proposed garage enlargement, link infill extension and works to windows and doors it is considered that the proposal would be sufficiently separated from neighbouring properties and would not have a detrimental impact on residential amenity. Given the enlargement of the garage, it is considered that this proposal would not impact the parking provision on the application. The proposal site would benefit from ample parking on the site, in accordance with the requirements of the Council's Parking Standards for New Developments SPD. The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received, the Right of Way Officer, Tree and Landscape Officer and Parish Council raised no objections. It is considered that the proposal will be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Parking Standards in new development SPD, Section 11 of the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and Section 12 of the NPPF.Reasons for granting: The application site is a two-storey dwelling on Holly Farm Close, Caddington.

Any other consent or approval which is necessary must be obtained from the appropriate authority. 5 )Will a new extension affect your Council Tax Charge? 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.
