Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension would project from the principal elevation of the dwelling contrary to the limitations set out in paragraph A.1 (e)(i), (f)(i), (g)(i) and (h)(i). The proposal is therefore not ‘permitted development’. Please note: This determination relates only to the details provided in the following plans and documents  Application form received 21/09/2026  Drawing Number ‘PRIOR 001’, Site Location Plan dated September 2026, received by the Local Planning Authority 21/09/2026.  Drawing Number ‘PRIOR BLOCK 001’, Proposed Block Plan dated September 2026, received by the Local Planning Authority 21/09/2026.

From the council's decision notice.
