Refuse Permission/Consent

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would fail to comply with limitation E.1(c) of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), as the building subject to the proposed works is situated on land forward of a wall forming the principal elevation of the original dwellinghouse. Accordingly, the proposal would not constitute permitted development and a Lawful Development Certificate cannot be granted. This application was supported by the following documents: (Site Location Plan) G-01 REV 01 (Existing and Proposed Plans In One) G-02 REV 01 (Existing Elevations) G-03 REV 01 (Proposed Elevations) EXISTING SITE PLAN (Site plans) Date of Decision Notice: 2nd October 2026 Application Number: 26/01742/LDP
