Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority is unable to grant prior approval for the proposed development as the works have commenced on site prior to the submission and determination of the required application for prior approval. As the development has already commenced, it does not comply with the procedural requirements of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A, Paragraph A.4 of the GPDO, and therefore cannot be authorised through the prior approval INIT process. Planning permission is therefore required for the works, and prior approval is refused.

From the council's decision notice.
