Decision & conditions
Signed Decision Notice Signed Officer ReportPlanning conditions
- The notification for prior approval is for works that do not fall within the scope of permitted development, as the enlarged part of the dwellinghouse (the proposed rear extension and the existing extensions) would have a width greater than half the width of the original dwellinghouse therefore the total enlargement (being the proposed part together with the existing side enlargement of the original dwellinghouse to which it will be joined) exceeds or would exceed the limits set out in clauses j(iii) & ja of Class A, Part 1 of Schedule 2 of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) therefore Planning permission would be required.
