Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority is not satisfied that the external materials proposed as part of the development would be of a similar appearance to those used in the construction of the existing building. As such, the proposed works fail to comply with the requirements of Schedule 2, Part 7, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). The development would therefore not constitute permitted development and cannot be certified as lawful.

From the council's decision notice.
