Why it was refused

  1. The proposed hip to gable roof extension would include increasing the height of the first floor side wall (and part of the front and rear walls). The first floor side wall would be within 2m of the boundary of the curtilage of the dwellinghouse, and the height of the eaves would exceed 3m. In addition, windows would be inserted in the side wall which would be clear glazed and openable under 1.7m from finished floor level. The proposal would therefore fail to comply with the criteria of Class A1.(i) and condition B.2(c) of Part 1, Schedule 2 of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order (2015) (as amended). A householder planning application is therefore required to be submitted for the proposal.

From the council's decision notice.
