Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would be contrary to the following condition under The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, Schedule 2, Class A in that the single storey side/ rear extension would extend beyond an original rear wall of the dwellinghouse by more than 3 metres and be attached to an existing single storey front extension creating a wrap around with a width greater than half the width of the original dwellinghouse.

From the council's decision notice.
