Why it was refused

  1. The proposal does not demonstrate full compliance with the permitted development criteria as set out in Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). The development is located in a safety hazard zone with a holding objection remaining from National Gas. As such, prior approval cannot be granted.
  2. The proposal does not demonstrate full compliance with the permitted development criteria as set out in Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). No structural survey was submitted and plans show only one full elevation and two part elevations existing therefore significant structural development would be necessary. As such, prior approval cannot be granted. 5 Plans and documents The following plans and documents form part of this notice.
