Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would fail to comply with the requirements of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A.1(d) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), as the height of the eaves of the proposed extension would exceed the height of the eaves of the existing dwellinghouse. Accordingly prior approval cannot therefore be granted.
