What refusal means
The process from here
The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.
Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.
About householder applications
How this application type works
Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden: extensions, loft and garage conversions, porches, outbuildings and similar alterations within the boundary of the home. They cannot be used to create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. Councils aim to decide them within eight weeks, and immediate neighbours are usually notified and given a chance to comment.

FRONT (street tree): ONE London Plane (T2)(ht.13-15m) INSTALL ROOT BARRIER to front and side of house within curtilage of no.88, length 18.5m, depth 4.6m. Reason: to retain the street tree implicated in subsidence at the property, ground works to remove small fibrous roots to facilitate installation of root barrier. Informative A: the installation of the root barrier is hugely appreciated to retain the London Plane street tree which contributes significantly to street character of tree-lined Pepys Road with mature plane trees along both sides. These street trees are a major landscape feature for streetscape amenity, for wildlife, reduction in air pollution and providing shade to reduce increasingly high spring and summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative B: TP/BH3 by front bay window: foundation 400mm depth - which is less than current NHBC guidelines for clay soils, London Plane roots identified 0.40-3.15m bgl, but soil below foundations is not desiccated, defective drains being investigated, heave risk potential approx.21mm.
