Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development does not comply with all of the relevant conditions, limitations and restrictions applicable to development permitted by Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A, paragraph A.1(g) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) and does not, therefore, constitute permitted development. The application has therefore been refused in accordance with paragraph A.4(3) of the abovementioned Order. The proposal does not constitute permitted development because, when assessed cumulatively with the existing garage structure, the proposed rear extension results in an overall enlargement that extends beyond a side elevation of the original dwellinghouse and exceeds one-half of the width of the original dwellinghouse and exceeds 4m depth. As such, the development fails to comply with the limitations set out in paragraph A.1(j) and the cumulative assessment requirement under paragraph A.1(ja) of Class A.
