Why it was refused
- The proposed extension does not meet the requirements of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), as the proposal extends forward of the principal elevation of the dwelling, consists of timber cladding to the exterior of a dwelling on article 2(3) land and does not use materials of a similar appearance to the exterior of the existing dwellinghouse. As such the proposal would require the benefit of planning permission from the Local Planning Authority, and accordingly a certificate of lawfulness cannot be issued. DC RECOLZ.v7
From the council's decision notice.
