Why it was refused

  1. The proposed erection of a single storey outbuilding to provide a double garage, fishing store, garden room, utility room and toilet, as shown on plans: RC.021 (Proposed Plans) received on 7th December 2025, would not benefit from planning permission granted automatically by Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the Town & Country Planning (General Permitted Development Order) 2015 (as amended), because it would be excessive in size in relation to the dwellinghouse, and the applicant has failed to clearly demonstrate how this space would be used in a way that justifies an outbuilding of the size proposed. Therefore, the outbuilding cannot be considered as reasonably required for a purpose that is incidental to the dwellinghouse and it would not be considered permitted development according to Class E.4.
