Why it was refused
- Condition (a) of paragraph A.3 of Class A, Part 1, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) states that the materials used in any exterior work shall be of a similar appearance to those used in the construction of the exterior of the existing dwellinghouse. The submitted plans state that the proposed materials would comprise composite cladding. These materials would not be of a similar appearance to those used in the construction of the existing dwellinghouse. The proposal therefore fails to comply with Condition (a) of paragraph A.3 of Class A, Part 1, Schedule 2 of the Order.
From the council's decision notice.
