Why it was refused

  1. The proposal put forward under the planning application, would result in a change of the description of the original proposal due to the introduction of a new opening to the ground floor rear and a new opening to the first floor front of the existing dwellinghouse , which would lead to a fundamental change to the operative part of the development previously granted planning permission under application 24/06361/FU. As a result, it would fall outside the powers of the Local Planning Authority to grant planning permission for the development under Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as amended and the planning application must fail on this basis.

From the council's decision notice.
