Why it was refused

  1. The proposed Certificate of Lawful Development for the proposed single storey rear extension, garage conversion, single storey front glazed porch, roof extension with rear dormer and rooflights to front and side, and detached garden room is not granted, as it would be contrary to paragraphs set out within Classes A, B, D and E of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, as amended. - The proposed single storey rear extension would fail to comply with Class A of the GPDO as it would extend more than 3m in depth from the original rear wall of the dwellinghouse, would extend off the rear wall of the existing side garage and kitchen area which is a rebuild and is not part of the original dwellinghouse as defined within legislation, and would also extend wider than the original dwelling and have a width which is greater than half the width of the original dwellinghouse. - The proposed rear extension would have horizontal timber cladding to the rear elevation which would not be of a similar material used in the original dwellinghouse and would fail to comply with condition A.3 (a) of the GPDO. - The garage conversion cannot fall under permitted development rights as the garage structure present at the property is not an original structure. - The proposed roof extension would fail to comply with Class B of the GPDO as it would be to an existing first floor side extension of the property, which was a later addition and not part of the original dwellinghouse. - The height of the proposed new glazed porch would exceed 3m in height and would be contrary to Class D, Paragraph D.1 (c) - The proposed garden house would exceed 2.5m in height and in eaves height and would be contrary to Class E, paragraphs E.1 (e) and (f). As such a certificate of lawful development cannot be issued.
