Why it was refused

  1. The proposed porch would fail to satisfy the criteria contained in Schedule 2, Part 1, Class B (c), Class B condition (b) and Class D (c), of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) because; the proposed porch would have a height that would be more than 3m above ground level. The porch would connect to the existing house and would extend beyond the plane of the existing roof slope which forms the principal elevation of the dwelling house and fronts a highway. The eaves of the original roof would not be maintained or re-instated, and the porch extends beyond the outside face of an external wall of the original dwellinghouse. Condition 3 of planning consent TP/77/0320 which granted the construction of the garage stated that: "The garage shall be used solely for the housing of a private motor vehicle and for no other purpose". It is considered that the restrictions imposed by this condition remain in place, and accordingly the garage cannot be converted to a habitable space. Accordingly, an application for a Certificate of Lawful Development (proposed) should be refused. First Schedule (description of operations) Conversion of garage to habitable space to include replacement of garage door with window. Construction of front porch extension with associated roof works Certificate of Lawful Development (Proposed).
