Why it was refused
- The extension would attach to an existing side/rear extension which would create a large wraparound extension which exceeds half the width of the original dwellinghouse. Additionally the length of the proposal would exceed 6 metres, with the furthest point extending 8.27m beyond the rear elevation of the dwelling. This is contrary to the conditions and legislation outlined in Class A of Part 1 to Schedule 2 of the GPDO 2015, specifically A.1 (g), (j) and (ja).
From the council's decision notice.
