Also on the record

Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 10 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.

Decision
Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons for Granting: The application site is a two storey semi-detached dwelling located on Greenfield Road in Flitton. The proposal consists of the erection of a front porch, and a single storey rear extension following demolition of the existing conservatory and a side extension. The proposed rear extension would measure 4 metres in depth, 9.4 metres in width and a height to the eaves of 2.8 metres. The proposed side extension would have staggered built form, and would measure 3.2 metres in maximum width, 7.3 metres in depth, a height to the eaves of 2.6 metres and a maximum pitched roof height of 4.1 metres. Due to the siting and design, the proposed rear extension, which replaces existing built form along the boundary, would not be visible within the street scene, however the side and front extensions would be visible. The proposed side extension would enhance a symmetrical design of the semi-detached pairing, with No.89 siting a single storey extension to the side with a similar roof form, although it is set further back from the principal elevation. The proposed extensions would be modest and subservient to the existing dwelling, with existing examples of side extensions and front porches in the surrounding area. On the basis of its design and scale, the proposal would form an appropriate addition to the existing dwellinghouse and would not be deemed to have any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area. In terms of neighbouring amenity, the proposed rear extension would be sited along the shared boundary with No.89 Greenfield Road. The proposed rear extension would be unlikely to have a detrimental impact on No.89, due to existing single storey built form of both properties and therefore any existing impact would remain unchanged. There would be the addition of a rooflight in the proposed side extension roofslope towards No.85A, however as it would have an upwards outlook and serve the boot room, it would be unlikely to result in a loss of privacy. As such, the proposal would not result in a loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact to neighbouring dwellings. The proposal would not increase the number of bedrooms and as such, the parking requirement for the application site would be acceptable on a like-for-like basis. Flitton and Greenfield Parish Council were consulted on this application and raised no comments. The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received. The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Policies D1 and TT3 of the Greenfield & Pulloxhill Neighbourhood 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 semi-detached dwelling located on Greenfield Road in Flitton.

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.
