Why it was refused

  1. The proposed roof extensions would exceed the cubic content of the original roof space by more than 40 cubic metres and would exceed the height of the highest part of the existing roof and would therefore fail to comply with Paragraph B.1 (d) (i) and B.1 (b) of Class B, Schedule 2, Part 1 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) First Schedule: Installation of rooflights on front roof slope, erection of gable end roof extension and dormer extension on rear roof slope Second Schedule: 83 Falkland Park Avenue, South Norwood, London, SE25 6SQ
