Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension would fail to accord with the provisions of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) because the materials proposed to be used in exterior work would not be of a similar Babergh District Council Mid Suffolk District Council Endeavour House, 8 Russell Road, Ipswich IP1 2BX Endeavour House, 8 Russell Road, Ipswich IP1 2BX appearance to those lawfully used in the construction of the exterior of the existing dwellinghouse. Therefore prior approval is refused and a formal application for planning permission is required. The proposed development is not, therefore, considered to represent 'permitted development' and is considered to require the benefit of planning permission.

From the council's decision notice.
