Why it was refused

  1. CONDITION: PRIOR APPROVAL REFUSED The proposals do not comply with the requirements of Class A of Part 1 of Schedule 2 to The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 with specific reference to paragraphs A.1 (ja). The previously approved extensions under permissions 89/00414/FUL and 24/01190/FUL are considered to constitute existing enlargements to the original dwellinghouse. When taken together with the proposed development, the cumulative extent of enlargement exceeds the limitations set out in sub- paragraphs A.1(e) to (j). As such, the proposal does not comply with permitted development rights and prior approval is refused.

From the council's decision notice.
