Why it was refused
- The height of the proposed office, gym and wellness area building would exceed 4 metres in the case of a building with a dual-pitched roof. The proposal therefore fails Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E, Paragraph E.1 (e)(i) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
- The height of the eaves of the proposed office, gym and wellness area building would exceed 2.5 metres. The proposal therefore fails Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E, Paragraph E.1 (f) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
- Based on the evidence submitted and the fact and degree of this case, the proposed timber three bay detached garage with maintenance area fails to meet an objective test of reasonableness as the Stradsfield House dwellinghouse currently benefits from an existing detached garage which currently accommodates 2no. vehicles. Whilst the existing garage is proposed for conversion and extension under this application, there is no guarantee that the proposed garage conversion would be carried out following the grant of a Lawful Development Certificate. Therefore, the proposed timber three bay detached garage with maintenance area would not be considered reasonably required for a purpose which is incidental to the enjoyment of the main dwellinghouse at the time of the application and therefore the proposal would not constitute permitted development under the terms of Class E of the General Permitted Development Order 2015 (as amended).
