Why it was refused

  1. The proposed Certificate of Lawful Development for the proposed new driveway, including dropped kerb, and hardstanding for disabled person is not granted, as the proposed driveway would not be within the curtilage of the existing dwellinghouse and the proposed dropped kerb would be situated on a classified road contrary to Part 1, Class F of Schedule 2 and Part 2, Class B 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.
