Why it was refused

  1. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the extent of the proposed building operations necessary for the building to function as a dwelling would go beyond what would be reasonably described as a conversion and are such that they would comprise rebuilding. The proposal is therefore not permitted development as it does not comply with all the limitations and restrictions specified in Part 3, Class Q.1 of Schedule 2 of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), as being applicable to the proposed development.

From the council's decision notice.
