Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension fails to comply with parameters of permitted development as set out under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A, A.4 (2)(e) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) as the relevant fee of £249.00 has not been paid.
  2. The proposal fails to comply with the limitations of Class A of Part 1, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) as the enlarged part of the dwellinghouse would extend beyond a side elevation and would have a width greater than half the width of the original dwellinghouse, contrary to the limitation set out in paragraph A.1(j)(iii). Planning permission is therefore required.

From the council's decision notice.
