Why it was refused

  1. The proposal includes the installation of external steps that would be attached to the building and protrude approximately 1 metre, as shown on the southeast and southwest elevations. This would result in the external dimensions of the existing building being exceeded by more than 0.2 metre to accommodate building operations reasonably necessary for the conversion. Therefore, the proposal fails to satisfy provision Q1.(h)(ii) and (j) of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order.
  2. The siting of the building is undesirable and impractical to facilitate the proposed change of use from agricultural use to a use falling within C3 (dwellinghouses) of Schedule 1 to the Use Classes Order due to being immediately adjacent to a dog kennel business. The application has been supported by insufficient information to demonstrate that noise levels could be acceptable. The sub-division and layout of the units, and their associated private amenity areas are also contrived with a poor relationship. Therefore, the proposal fails to satisfy provision Q2.(1) (b) and (e) of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order.
