Why it was refused

  1. The proposed Certificate of Lawful Development for the proposed access ramp to front is not granted, as the proposal would extend beyond a wall forming a principal elevation of the original dwellinghouse and would consist of a raised platform contrary to Part 1, Class A paragraphs A.1 (e) (i) and (k) (i) 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.
