Why it was refused

  1. The proposals involve operational development that falls outside the scope and provisions of a Class MA Prior Approval application. This Prior Approval application can only assess a 'change of use' within the existing building shell. Operational development (such as external / exterior building works) necessitates Full planning permission to be obtained from the LPA. As such, the operational development proposed makes this the wrong type of application and conflicts with the provisions of Class MA, Part 3, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).

From the council's decision notice.
