Why it was refused

  1. It is considered, on the balance of probabilities, that the use of part of an outbuilding within the curtilage of The Mistle, 999, New Hey Road, Outlane, Huddersfield, HD3 3FH for business purposes would constitute a material change of use and therefore development as defined by Section 55 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 [“the Act”]. In the absence of planning permission, the proposed business use is not considered lawful for the purposes of Section 192 of the Act.
  2. The external works to the garage would materially affect the external appearance of the building and do not fall within the provisions of Class E of Part

From the council's decision notice.
