Why it was refused
- The degree of enabling works required to construct the proposed extension, including the significant excavation works to prepare the site, would represent an engineering operation constituting development under Section 55 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended. Such an engineering operation would not fall within the scope of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 as amended and would require planning permission in its own right. The proposed development could not therefore be carried out under permitted development rights and could not be lawful by virtue of this. Details of application: - Erection of a single storey rear extension which projects out from the rear wall of the original house by 6 metres, with an eaves height of 2.9 metres and a maximum roof height of 3 metres.
From the council's decision notice.
