Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension does not comply with paragraph (j)(iii) 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 therefore do not fall within the scope of permitted development, and planning permission is required.

From the council's decision notice.
