Why it was refused
- The proposed development would fail to satisfy the criteria set out in Paragraph A.1(j)(iii), A.1(g)(i) and A.1 (ja) for the permitted development Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) because; the total enlargement would have a width greater than half the width of the original dwelling house as the total enlargement would extend beyond the rear wall of the original dwellinghouse by more than 6 metres.
From the council's decision notice.
