Why it was refused

  1. Reason 1 The proposed single storey rear extension would be connected to the side wall of the original house. Where an extension is attached to an existing side wall of the original dwellinghouse, the restrictions on extensions having a greater width than half the width of the original dwellinghouse apply (see page 23 of the Householder Technical Guidance). The development fails to comply with sub paragraphs (j) and (ja) of Class A of the General Permitted Development Order 2015 (as amended). A specific grant of planning permission is required.

From the council's decision notice.
