Why it was refused

  1. The proposed Certificate of Lawful Development for the proposed erection of a single storey rear extension is not granted, as the proposed extension would extend more than 3m from the original rear elevation of the dwellinghouse, and extend beyond a wall forming a side elevation and have a width greater than half the width of the dwellinghouse contrary to Part 1, Class A paragraphs A.1 (f) (i) and (j) (iii) of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended). As such a Certificate of Lawfulness cannot be issued.

From the council's decision notice.
