Why it was refused

  1. The proposed private training studio use, under Section 55(1) of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990, would result in a material change in the current use of the building as a dwellinghouse. Therefore, the proposal constitutes development that requires planning permission.

From the council's decision notice.
