Why it was refused

  1. The proposed single and two storey rear extension and two storey side extension would exceed an eaves height of 3m within 2m of a site boundary.Furthermore the proposed single storey rear extension would exceed 3m in depth. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Schedule 2, Part 1 , Class A (f) & (i) of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
  2. The proposed Certificate of Lawful Development for the proposal roof extensions would have a total volume of 74.2m3 which exceeds the permitted allowance for a semi-detached property which is 50m3. It is therefore considered that the proposed development does not meet Schedule 2, Part 1, Class B of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). As such a Certificate of Lawfulness cannot be issued.
  3. The proposed single storey front extension would be contrary to Schedule 2, Part 1 , Class D of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
