Why it was refused

  1. The curtilage for the change of use of land surrounding the buildings exceeds what is allowed under Q. (a) in that it should be no larger than the land area occupied by the agricultural buildings. The proposal therefore does not constitute permitted development under Class Q (a), Part 3, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
  2. The development involves significant building operations which would go beyond what is reasonably necessary to convert the buildings. The proposal therefore does not constitute permitted development under Class Q (c) and Q.1 (j), Part 3, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).

From the council's decision notice.
