Planning Decision
Why it was refused
- Due to the use of the shared front entrance to the ground floor commercial unit as the entrance to the residential unit, the proposal would result in the change of use of part of a commercial unit with a display window at ground floor level to residential use contrary to Schedule 2, Part 3, Class G.1(b) of the Town and Country (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
From the council's decision notice.
