Why it was refused

  1. Due to inconsistencies between the application form and plans submitted relating to the maximum height and eaves of the extension the proposed development would fail to comply with sub-paragraph (3) of paragraph A.4, and therefore the local planning authority is not able to establish whether the proposed development complies with the conditions, limitations or restrictions applicable to development permitted by Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) which exceeds the limits in paragraph A.1(f) but is allowed by paragraph A.1(g).

From the council's decision notice.
