- 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 Derwent Road within a cul-de-sac in Linslade, Leighton Buzzard. No. 98 is constructed of brickwork, white uPVC windows and doors, guttering and an existing porch with a flat roof. The property has a tiled pitched roof and is surrounded by properties of similar design. The proposal would consist of a single storey front extension with a pitched tiled roof with a height to the eaves of 2.24m and an overall height of 3.6m, this would take the roof up from the existing flat roof by 1.2m. The proposed extension would be 5.4m wide by 1.7m deep, a further 0.7m than the main front elevation. A new porch with a pitched roof would extend out a further 0.6m. A mono-pitched roof would extend the rest of the front elevation with an overall height of 2.9m. The proposal would result in a minimal increase in footprint, but the installation of the various roofs would change the height and style of the property. However, these would both be considered minor alterations that would not have a material impact on the character and appearance of the area. Neighbouring properties within the cul-de-sac have had similar changes to the front elevation including pitched roofs and garage conversions. Therefore, the proposal is not considered to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area and is in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan. In terms of neighbouring amenity, the proposed extension would include the front extension, roof change and the new porch which is visible from the street scene and the neighbouring property, the proposal faces neighbouring property, No. 96 and would almost mirror that properties changes to the front. With all other properties there is considered sufficient separation and therefore little visual impact, loss of light or overbearing impact and overall is considered to have an acceptable neighbour amenity impact, complying with section 12 of the NPPF, policy HQ1 of the central Bedfordshire Local Plan Section 11 of Central Bedfordshire Design Guide 2023. Leighton-Linslade Town Council were consulted and raised no objections. The application was subject to public consultation, though no representations were raised. 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 application site is a two-storey detached dwelling located on Derwent Road within a cul-de-sac in Linslade, Leighton Buzzard.

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.
