Planning Decision
Why it was refused
- The proposed development fails to meet the requirements of the prior notification procedure for larger home extensions contained within Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). The application site is situated on Article 2(3) land, where the larger home extension prior approval provisions do not apply. Accordingly, the proposed development is not applicable to the prior approval procedure and prior approval is refused. A planning application would be required should the applicant wish to pursue the development. IMPORTANT - INFORMATIVES It is important to note that this written notice does not indicate whether the proposed development would comply with any of the other limitations or conditions of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A. It is the Page 1 of 2 PANREQ 26/00835/PAH developer’s responsibility to establish whether the proposed development complies with the other limitations and conditions. If you are uncertain then you have the option of applying for a Proposed Lawful Development Certificate. Further details of this process are available via You have the right to appeal against this decision. Any appeal should be submitted to the Planning Inspectorate.
