Lowlands Farm Queens Road Calf Heath WOLVERHAMPTON WV10 7DT

1. 1.Summary of reasons for refusing to the certificate: The proposed extensions and outbuilding as described and illustrated on the plans submitted would not benefit from planning permission granted automatically by Schedule 2, Part 1, Classes A, B, C and E of the Town & Country Planning (General Permitted Development Order) 2015 (as amended) for the following reasons: o The first-floor side extension above the existing single storey northern side garage: The works would extend beyond the upper side wall of the original dwellinghouse and would: o have more than one storey o exceed four metres in height o Be within two metres of the western boundary of the curtilage of the dwelling house and would exceed 3 metres in height at the eaves o The single storey rear extension to the existing garage on the northern side of the dwelling The works would extend beyond the rear elevation of the original dwelling house by more than 4 metres as such would be subject to a prior approval application as detailed in condition A.4 of the legislation. o The two storey rear extension adjoining the side of the existing two storey southern projection with dormer window and loft conversion thereover. In this case the works would also adjoin the original side wall of the southern projection and would: o have more than a single storey o exceed 4 metres in height o Single storey side/rear extension to the southern side elevation of the dwelling The works would extend beyond the rear elevation of the original dwelling house by more than 4 metres as such would be subject to a prior approval application as detailed in condition A.4 of the legislation. Notwithstanding the above, the works would also adjoin the non-original two storey rear extension to the original southern projection (as it has been found that this has been extended after 1948) and as such must comply with the legislation when considered as a total structure and when combined this would create a wrap around rear/side extension that was in part two storey and would therefore not qualify for the prior approval procedure either owing to the legislation breach. o Single storey garage/store outbuilding As submitted there is insufficient information available with the application to determine whether or not the proposals would comply with the legislation. There is no information available to show the design or height of the proposed outbuilding. Furthermore, there is no indicative layout to show how the building will be used. Insufficient information has been put forward to demonstrate a genuine current need for the proposals and the proposal would fail to satisfy the objective test of reasonableness. Based upon the facts and degree of this case the application has therefore failed to evidence the outbuilding is reasonably required for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling house and therefore fails to meet the criteria set out in Class E of the GPDO.
