Why it was refused

  1. Newark and Sherwood District Council determines that the proposed rear extension (as described and indicated in the documents submitted in support of this application) would not benefit from 'deemed' planning consent under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, and therefore would not benefit from either 'deemed' or 'express' planning permission at the time of the application and as such would not be lawful at the time of the application being submitted. This is due to the extension would have a height to the ridge greater than 4m, therefore conflicting with Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A, sub-paragraph (f), which states that development is not permitted where height exceeds 4 metres when located on the rear wall of the original dwellinghouse. A copy of the decision notice and the officer/committee report are available to view on the Council’s website.

From the council's decision notice.
