Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient information to has been provided to conclude that the existing rear elevation of the dwelling is 'original' and thus it is not considered that enough information has been provided to satisfy the Council that the proposed extension would comply with subsection (i) of Class A, Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Order as the proposed extension would result in the overall enlargement extending beyond the rear wall of the original dwellinghouse by more than 6 metres.
