- 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 in a small cul-de-sac along Mead End in Biggleswade. The proposal is for the erection of a single-storey side and rear extension, which would replace existing brick-built outbuildings. It would be of a wraparound nature, and extend from the rear wall 1.6 metres and join the existing singe-storey rear extension. The proposed extension would extend from the side elevation by approximately 2.1 metres. The proposed side extension would be partially visible within the streetscene. Due to the scale and design, it would form a subservient and appropriate addition to the existing dwellinghouse. The proposed side extension would replace existing built form and would not result in a significant change to the streetscene. The extension would be finished in white-coloured render, which would complement the materials used on the entrance of the dwelling. As such, the proposal would not be deemed to have a detrimental impact to the character and appearance of the area. In terms of neighbouring amenity, the proposed extension would be sufficiently screened from the attached dwelling, No. 26 Mead End, by the existing rear extension adjacent to the shared boundary. The proposal would replace the existing brick outbuildings, which are sited along the shared boundary with No. 22 Mead End, and be sited further from the boundary. Due to this, and the orientation of the dwellings and the sufficient separation distance, this neighbouring dwelling is unlikely to be impacted. As such, the proposal would not result in a detrimental loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing impact to any neighbouring dwellings. The proposal would not increase the number of bedrooms, and therefore the existing parking arrangement is acceptable on a like-for-like basis. The proposal is unlikely to negatively impact the off-street parking on the site or the public highway. Biggleswade Town Council were consulted on this application and raised no objection. 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 (2021), the Biggleswade Neighbourhood Plan (2022), Section 11 of Central Bedfordshire Design Guide (2023), Parking Standards for New Developments SPD (2023) and Policies DP3, P3 and TR6 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2026).Reasons for Granting: The application site is a two-storey, semi-detached dwelling located in a small cul-de-sac along Mead End in Biggleswade.

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.
