Why it was refused

  1. The proposed works to the ground and first floors of the existing bungalow are considered as a matter of fact and degree to be so extensive, due to the extent of existing walls to be retained, that the proposals would constitute the demolition and construction of a new dwelling. The submission of a full planning application is therefore required to allow the assessment of the proposals in accordance with the relevant development plan polices. Furthermore insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the continued occupation and use of the existing dwelling during the construction period would subsist.

From the council's decision notice.
