Why it was refused

  1. The proposed materials for the exterior of the rear extension would not be of a similar appearance to those used in the construction of the exterior of the existing dwellinghouse. As such, the proposal does not comply with the requirements of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A, Condition A.3(a) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended). Therefore, Prior Approval is refused in this instance. Reason for Refusal 2 The submitted application form fails to accurately describe the height to the eaves of the proposed extension. This has resulted in neighbouring properties being consulted on an extension which is notably smaller than that which is presented within the submitted application drawings. As such, the submissions are contrary to the requirements of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A, Condition A.4(2) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). Prior Approval is therefore refused for the proposed works described in the submissions.

From the council's decision notice.
