Why it was refused

  1. The proposed additional window frames to the side are rear elevations are not of similar shape and size of frame to those of the existing. The proposed development therefore does not fall within the limits of Class A of Part 3 of Schedule 2 of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), and as such, planning permission is required. First Schedule: Application for a Certificate of Proposed Lawful development for installation of side and rear glazed doors/ windows and installation of roof lights to rear pitched roof.

From the council's decision notice.
