Why it was refused

  1. The proposed amendment would relocate and reorientate the approved garden building closer to the shared boundary with the adjoining residential property, reducing the separation distance and resulting in the longer elevation facing the neighbouring site. As a consequence, the proposal has the potential to give rise to materially different impacts on neighbouring residential amenity and a materially different relationship with the adjoining property than that approved. The proposed changes therefore cannot reasonably be regarded as non-material and fall outside the scope of Section 96A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

From the council's decision notice.
