I have been planning to build a small side return extension to my Victorian terraced house for a while now, and I have submitted an application for a Certificate of Lawful Development (I have attached the proposed plans).
This has just been refused on the grounds that it is a side extension, which is not permitted as we are in a conservation area.
The layout we have is a two storey mid terrace with a bathroom on the ground floor at the back. We just wanted to fill in the patio area with a single storey extension.
I was under the impression that this would be a rear extension, and as long as it is no longer than 3m in length, then it would be permitted. Does this in fact count as a side extension, or do we have grounds to appeal?
Cheers.
