Why it was refused

  1. Having reviewed the submitted information including the application form, existing and proposed floor plan layouts, the proposed change of use from dwelling house use class C3(a) as an internal administrative business Class E would not constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Article 3 - Permitted Development Rights, Part 3 - Changes of use under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). Should the applicant wish to pursue this proposal an application for full planning permission for change of use should be submitted.

From the council's decision notice.
