Why it was refused
- The extension as proposed does not comply with paragraph (i) in section A.1 of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended. In addition, insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposal complies with paragraph (d) in section A.1 of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended. The proposed works do not therefore fall within the scope of permitted development. This application is therefore refused and planning permission is required.
From the council's decision notice.
