Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority is not satisfied, on the balance of probability and on the basis of the information submitted, that the proposed development would be lawful. The proposal constitutes operational development under Section 55 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the applicant has failed to provide sufficient information. in particular, insufficient information has been submitted to clearly identify the siting of the proposed building and to substantiate the claim that the proposal would be lawful. Furthermore, there are no provisions under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 to allow the proposed development to qualify as 'permitted development' or which planning permission is not required

From the council's decision notice.
