Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two-storey rear extension would fail to satisfy the criteria contained in Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A (i) and Class A condition (a) and (c) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) because; the proposed two-storey rear extension would be within 2 metres of the boundary of the curtilage of the dwelling house, but the height of the eaves of the enlarged part would exceed 3 metres, the vertical hanging tiles are not similar in appearance to the walls of the house and the roof pitch does not match the roof pitch of the original dwelling house. First Schedule (description of use/operations/matter) Two-storey rear extension. Certificate of Lawful Development (Proposed).

From the council's decision notice.
