Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension fails to comply with the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), Schedule 2 Part 1, Class A, paragraph (i) as the proposal is within 2m of the boundary and the eaves height exceeds 3m.

From the council's decision notice.
