Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development does not meet the criteria for permitted development as set out under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015. In particular, the buildings go beyond what is considered to be for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse as such.

From the council's decision notice.
