Council Tax re-banding after extension built ??

Hi, this is my first post ...
I have been following this topic closely, done the research as Martin suggested, and believe that I may have a good case for re-banding.
However, I am minded by Martin's comments about 're-evaluation'.
If I could explain, when the original bandings were issued in 1991, the majority of my road was Band B, however my house was Band C. I see no reason why this should have been the case, and would ordinarily have staked my case for re-banding.
However, I have recently (in the last year) had a considerable extension built.
Should the house be re-evaluated as it stands today, I would guess that the banding would now probably go up !!
How exactly is the re-evaluation performed ? Is it on how the house stands today ? I would assume that the council would be privy to the planning permissions recently submitted for the extension.
Would I still have a case to claim for the period 1991-2006 ?
