Why it was refused
- The proposed extension would extend beyond a wall forming a side elevation of the original dwelling and would be greater than half the width of that dwelling. As a result, it would not constitute permitted development under Class A (j)(iii) of Part 1, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
From the council's decision notice.
