- Full Application - Granted Conditions or Reasons: View Conditions or Reasons Informative Notes: 1 )Reasons for Granting: The application site is a two-storey, detached dwelling located on the west side of St Neots Road, Sandy. No. 101 is constructed of brickwork with a gable tile roof and currently benefits from two-storey rear extension to the northeast of the site. The proposal consists of the erection of a single storey rear extension with rooflights. The proposal would have a depth of 4 metres, a width of 7.6 metres and a flat roof to a maximum height of 3.25 metres. The overall footprint of the property would increase by some 29.6 square metres. St Neots Road is characterised by detached and semi-detached dwellings of varied age and design. Rear projections to other properties across the streetscene are noted, and therefore the proposal is not considered to be at odds with the existing grain and pattern of development. On the basis of its design and scale, the proposal would form a proportionate addition to the existing dwellinghouse which would be sited entirely within the footprint of existing hardstanding. In addition, the proposed rear extension would be constructed of materials to match that of the existing dwellinghouse and as such, the proposal is not considered to result in a significant impact on the character or appearance of the area. Regarding the siting of the proposal, the most potentially impacted neighbouring dwellings are deemed to be No. 99 and No. 101a St Neots Road, and No. 46 and No. 48 Western Way. To the south, the proposal would be sited some 4.9 metres from No. 99 St Neots Road, and would not surpass the rear building line of this neighbouring dwelling. Given this relationship and the single-storey nature of the proposal, it is not considered that the proposal would give rise to any overbearing impact to this neighbouring dwelling. To the north, No. 101a would be sited some 8.5 metres from the proposal and would remain heavily screened from the works by the existing two-storey rear extension at the application site. As such, the proposal is not considered to give rise to any impact on the amenity of this neighbouring dwelling. To the rear, the proposal would be sited some 30.5 metres from the shared boundaries with No. 46 and No. 48 Western Way, by virtue of this generous garden depth, the proposal is not considered to give rise to any overbearing impact or loss of light to these neighbouring dwellings. The proposal includes the installation of glazing to the rear elevation of the rear extension which would face towards these neighbouring properties. It is noted that there is an existing degree of mutual overlooking between the properties, with views from the both the ground floor and first-floor at both dwellings. Given this relationship and the separation distance between the properties, the proposal is not considered to give rise to any unacceptable overlooking or loss of privacy. All other neighbouring dwellings are considered sufficiently separated for there to be any neighbouring impact due to the sitting and scale of the proposal. The proposal does not create any additional bedrooms and therefore would not be required to demonstrate further onsite parking. The proposal 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. Sandy Town Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection to the proposal. Ecology were consulted on the application and raised no objections. 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, Section 11 of Central Bedfordshire Design Guide, Parking Standards for New Developments SPD and Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).101Reasons for Granting: The application site is a two-storey, detached dwelling located on the west side of St Neots Road, Sandy.

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.
