Why it was refused
- The submitted plans under this application are insufficiently clear to demonstrate that the proposed works would be located a minimum of 25 metres from B488, a classified road. As such, in the absence of sufficient plans clarifying the distance of the development from the classified road, the proposed development is considered to be contrary to Class B of Part 6 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, as it does not comply with all the relevant criteria of the Class, namely criteria B.1.(c). An application for Full Planning Permission for the proposed works is therefore required.
From the council's decision notice.
