Why it was refused

  1. Reason The proposed development would have an unacceptable impact on the character and appearance of the original dwelling and surrounding context when considered in line with condition AA.2(3)(a). As such, the proposed development does not comply with the conditions, limitations or restrictions applicable to development permitted by Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). The Local Planning Authority consider that this cannot be adequately addressed by way of conditions. As such, in accordance with Paragraph AA.3(3) of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) the Local Planning Authority refuse this application.
