Why it was refused

  1. The proposals go beyond the scope of a householder application due to the substantial demolition required to the host dwelling, that the host dwelling cannot be considered to be an existing dwellinghouse under the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 Article 2. The proposals would therefore need to be submitted under a Full Planning Application.
  2. The application is not compliant with the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 due to insufficient information having been provided. The proposals go beyond the scope of a householder application and therefore could be CIL liable, and therefore a CIL form is required.
  3. The application is not compliant with Part 3, Article 7(1) (c) (iia) and (1A) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) due to insufficient information. The proposals go beyond the scope of a householder application and therefore there is insufficient information to show that the proposals either meet the BNG condition or are exempt under other exemptions.
  4. The incorrect fee has been paid as the proposals go beyond the scope of a householder application and therefore the application is not compliant with Part 3, Article 11, (2) (f) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015.
