About this application
This is a planning application for a loft conversion at 31 Carpenders Avenue Carpenders Park Watford Hertfordshire WD19 5BS. Three Rivers has handled 4,305 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. There have been 3 other applications at this address. We hold 905 applications in total for the WD19 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed loft conversion including hip to gable extension and side and rear dormer would, as a result of the works, extend beyond the plane of the existing hipped roof to the side of the dwelling (forming a recessed front wall) which forms a part of the dwelling's principal elevation and fronts the adjacent highway, Carpenders Avenue. The development therefore fails to comply with B.1 (c) of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class B of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended). DCRECLPZ Kimberley Rowley Head of Regulatory Services Three Rivers District Council, Three Rivers House, Northway, Rickmansworth, Herts WD3 1RL
From the council's decision notice.
