Why it was refused

  1. The submitted details demonstrate that operational development would be required to facilitate the change of use. Operational development is not permitted by Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). The extent of the proposal as shown on the submitted plans therefore falls outside the scope of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
  2. In the event that the proposed works had comprised 'permitted development' under Class MA of Part 3 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)('the GPDO'), prior approval would be required and refused in relation to the potential impacts of noise from the nearby commercial uses and traffic on the future occupiers of the development being unknown due to the absence of relevant sound insulation written scheme/Noise Impact Assessment.

From the council's decision notice.
