Why it was refused

  1. The proposed flat 2 indicated on the submitted plans as 2 persons 1 bedroom flat would not meet the relevant Minimum Gross Internal Floor Areas (as specified in The Nationally Described Space Standard 2015) and the depicted double bedroom falls below the minimum 11.5sqm. Furthermore, no information has been submitted to demonstrate that the flats would achieve the minimum floor to ceiling heights (as specified in The Nationally Described Space Standard 2015). As such, the proposal would be contrary to Paragraph (9A), Part 3 of the 'Interpretation' of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) and therefore it would not fall within the Class G of Schedule 2, Part 3 of the Town and Country Planning General Permitted Development (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
  2. Insufficient and limited information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposed internal waste and recycling storage would be adequate to serve 2 x 2 persons 1 bedroom flats, would be practical and would provide recycling facilities. Furthermore, it has not been demonstrated that due to the site constraints an adequate waste collection point could be provided and managed. As such, the proposal is contrary to Paragraph G.1(d)(v) Class G of Schedule 2, Part 3 of the Town and Country Planning General Permitted Development (England) Order 2015 (as amended).

From the council's decision notice.
