Why it was refused

  1. The proposed larger rear house extension would not comply with the limitation set out in paragraph A.1 (j) (iii) of Class A, Schedule 2, Part 1 of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) because the enlarged part of the dwelling house would extend beyond a wall forming a side elevation of the original dwelling house and the proposal would have a width greater than half the width of the original dwelling house. Therefore, it is not permitted development.

From the council's decision notice.
