Why it was refused

  1. Having assessed the proposal against the provisions of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), it is concluded that the proposed single-storey rear extension, with a depth of 3.65 metres, eaves height of 3.0 metres and an overall height of 3.0 metres, fails to comply with the criteria set out under Class A. Specifically, the application site lies within a designated Conservation Area and therefore falls within Article 2(3) land, where larger home extensions permitted under Class A.1(g) are not applicable. As such, the proposed development cannot benefit from permitted development rights, and prior approval cannot be granted. Accordingly, a full householder planning application would be required should the applicant wish to pursue the proposed extension.

From the council's decision notice.
