Why it was refused

  1. A Certificate of Lawfulness (proposed) cannot be issued on the basis that the proposed outbuilding would fail to comply with (h) of Class E, Part 1, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended as the outbuilding would feature a verandah. Formal planning permission would therefore be required.
