Why it was refused

  1. The proposed outbuilding includes the primary accommodation of a bathroom and there is no justification for its inclusion. There is a lack of information regarding the scale of the proposed leisure room, and the application fails to justify the overall large size of the proposed outbuilding. As such, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that, on the balance of probabilities, the proposed outbuilding is reasonably required for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of a dwellinghouse. The proposal is not therefore deemed to benefit from the permitted development rights conferred by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).

From the council's decision notice.
