Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development does not comply with the nationally described space standards issued by the Department for Communities and Local Government in March 2015 and therefore fails to comply with the limitations set out in Article 3 of the Town and Country (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).

From the council's decision notice.
