Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension is not permitted development under Class A.1(J)(iii) of Schedule 2, Part 1 of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, as amended. The proposed extension also shows on the submitted plans that it would extend outside of the curtilage of the host dwelling and therefore could not be permitted development.

From the council's decision notice.
