- Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons for Granting The host dwelling is a brick built bungalow with a tiled, pitched roof with front and rear dormers. There is a single storey extension to the rear with a pitched tiled roof and a single garage to the side. The proposal is for the erection of a single-storey rear extension, with a pitched roof containing two roof lights. The extension would sit to the side of the existing garage and the rear of the property. The proposal would be approximately 4.20m wide by 3.10m deep with an overall height of 3.60m with bi-fold doors facing to the rear. The rear extension would be considered modest in scale and proportionate to the host dwelling and would not be readily visible within the street scene, and therefore is not considered to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area. Many of the properties within the Golden Riddy area have single storey extensions to the front and rear of their properties and therefore, the proposal is not considered to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan. In terms of neighbouring amenity, the extension would be separated from the boundary and nearest neighbouring property, 45 Golden Riddy, by approximately 1.5 metres to the shared boundary. The extension would not be visible from the other neighbouring property, 31 Golden Riddy due a long garage which shares the boundary of the host dwelling with both garages standing on the line of the boundary. Due to this separation and the existing structures it is not considered that the rear extension would be a detrimental impact on the residential amenities on either of the neighbouring properties. The proposed bi-fold doors would have the same outlook to the rear as the existing fenestration and due to the boundary treatment of wooden fencing 1.8m high there are no privacy concerns. All other neighbours are sufficiently separated from the proposed development. Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would not result in an overbearing impact, a loss of light or loss of privacy to the neighbouring dwellings and would be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan. Leighton-Linslade Town Council were consulted on the application and raised no objection. Natural England were consulted, but no comments were received. The application was also subject to public consultation and no representations were received. The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and Section 11 of Central Bedfordshire Design Guide 2023.Reasons for Granting The host dwelling is a brick built bungalow with a tiled, pitched roof with front and rear dormers.

Any other consent or approval which is necessary must be obtained from the appropriate authority. 6 )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.
