Why it was refused
- The proposed development is refused because the application property is a flat, as defined in Article 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015. Flats do not benefit from permitted development rights and, as such, the proposed extension does not fall within the parameters of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015.
From the council's decision notice.
