About this application
This is a planning application for a dormer extension at 1 Shearnfold Church Road Kilndown Cranbrook Kent TN17 2SE. Tunbridge Wells has handled 5,829 applications of this type.

We hold 1,133 applications in total for the TN17 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The two rear dormer windows would not be classed as permitted development by virtue of Class B, Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) as the property falls within the High Weald National Landscape (an area classified as Article 2(3) land).Therefore planning permission is required.
From the council's decision notice.
