Why it was refused

  1. The proposal fails to comply with the criteria set out within Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A.1 (d) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amendment) (No.2) (England) Order 2015, as the height of the eaves of the proposed rear extension would exceed the height of the eaves of the existing dwellinghouse. As such, the proposal fails to constitute permitted development and therefore Prior Approval cannot be granted.

From the council's decision notice.
