Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development (rear dormer) fails to fully accord with all criterion, limitations and conditions as set out within Classes B of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (England) 2015, specifically criteria B.1.f as the site is located within the Chilterns National Landscape (article 2(3) land). Therefore the works are not lawful and formal planning permission is required for the proposed works.

From the council's decision notice.
