Can someone help me understand this point, a prior approval has not been considered permitted development because its width would be more than half the width of the original house even though the width of the extension is not, only when they combine it with the width of the existing original extension... They use the term combined to infer that if you extend off a side wall of the orignal extension then it becomes part of your proposed extension? Legislation states
Class A, Schedule 2, Part of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015.
(j)the enlarged part of the dwellinghouse would extend beyond a wall forming a side elevation of the original dwellinghouse, and would—
(i)exceed 4 metres in height,
(ii)have more than a single storey, or
(iii)have a width greater than half the width of the original dwellinghouse
It doesnt mention anything about 'combined' but the report states this:-
8. Permitted Development 8.1 Whilst the above amenity assessment has identified that there would be no amenity harm as a reason of the proposal, it should be noted that the proposal would not be lawful under Class A, Schedule 2, Part of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015.
This is because it is noted from the proposed drawings and available aerial photos, that the proposed extension would be joined with an original rear extension and when combined, the two structures would have a width greater than half the width of the original house and the combined depth would be more than that stated in this prior approval application.
8.2 Class A at paragraph (i) states – If the enlarged part of the dwellinghouse would extend beyond a wall forming a side elevation of the original dwellinghouse, and would – (i) exceed 4 metres in height, (ii) have more than a single storey, or (iii) have a width greater than half the width of the original dwellinghouse Then this would not be permitted development.
8.3 As highlighted above the proposal is not permitted by Class A for the following reasons – i. The enlarged part of the dwellinghouse would have a single storey and when joined up with existing structures, it would extend beyond the rear wall of the original dwellinghouse by more than the depth stated in this application. ii. The enlarged part of the dwellinghouse would extend beyond a wall forming a side elevation of the original dwellinghouse and would have a width greater than half the width of the original dwellinghouse.
8.4 Therefore, the scheme does not comply with the requirements, limitations and conditions of householder prior approval for permitted development under Class A, Schedule 2, Part 1, of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
