Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of the excessive size of the proposed building and the nature and scale of the proposed uses does not constitute a building which is reasonably required for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse. The proposal is not therefore deemed to fall within the tolerances of Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). A planning application is therefore required to be submitted for the proposed development.

From the council's decision notice.
