Why it was refused

  1. The proposed change of use from a single family dwellinghouse (Use Class C3) to a small House in Multiple Occupation (Use Class C4) fails to accord with Schedule 2, Part 3, Class L of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) as there is an Article 4 Direction in place which removes permitted development rights for changes of use from Class C3 to Class C4. As such, the development requires planning permission. In the absence of planning permission, the proposal is unacceptable and is therefore refused.
  2. The proposed single storey rear extension does not constitute permitted development by virtue of the provisions of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A, provisions A.1 (f)(i) and A.1 (i) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015. The proposal is not permitted development as the enlarged part of the dwelling house would extend beyond the rear of the original house by more than 3 metres and the height of the eaves of the enlarged part would exceed 3 metres within 2 metres of the boundary of the curtilage of the dwellinghouse. Accordingly, the application is refused and planning permission would be required. This determination is based on your submitted plans. All measurements are taken from existing ground level.

From the council's decision notice.
