Why it was refused
- The development proposed is not permitted by Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) as it contravenes A.1 (g) of that Class as the height of the building would exceed 12 metres and so planning permission is required.
From the council's decision notice.
