Why it was refused

  1. The proposed gates and pillars by way of their size and location do not comply with the requirements of Class A, Part 2, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 and as such it does not constitute permitted development.

From the council's decision notice.
