Why it was refused

  1. The proposed single storey rear extension would exceed 3m in depth from the original rear wall of the dwellinghouse and it would extend beyond a side wall of the original dwellinghouse and would have a width which is greater than half the width of the original dwellinghouse. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A, Paragraph A.1 (f) and (j) of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) and a Certificate of Lawfulness cannot be issued.

From the council's decision notice.
