Why it was refused

  1. The single storey rear extension does not benefit from a general planning permission under Article 3(1) and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) as the development would extend beyond a wall forming the principal and side elevation of the original property and would front a highway contrary to sub-paragraph A.1(e) of Class A. The proposed enlargement would also exceed 4 metres in height and extend beyond a side elevation contrary to sub-paragraph A.1(j) of Class A.
