Why it was refused

  1. The proposed single-storey rear extension fails to comply with the parameters of permitted development as set out under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A, paragraph A.1 (j)(iii) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) as the proposed development would extend beyond a wall forming a side elevation of the original dwellinghouse and would have a width greater than half the width of the original dwellinghouse. Planning permission is therefore required.

From the council's decision notice.
