Why it was refused

  1. The proposed single-storey rear extension, when taken together with the existing rear extension approved under application reference 89/01129, would project beyond the rear wall of the original dwellinghouse by an amount exceeding that permitted under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). The proposed development would therefore fail to comply with the limitations of Class A and would not constitute permitted development.
  2. The proposed single-storey rear extension, when considered both cumulatively with the existing extension approved under application reference 89/01129 and as a standalone addition, would extend beyond a side wall of the original dwellinghouse and would have a width greater than half the width of the original dwellinghouse. As such, the proposal would exceed the limitations set out in Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) and would not constitute permitted development.

From the council's decision notice.
