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 lawful development applications
How this application type works
A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

34 Second Avenue Stanford Le Hope Essex SS17 8DS
The proposed development comprises the construction of a rear dormer roof extension, the installation of two conservation-style rooflights within the front roof slope, and the internal conversion of the existing loft space to provide additional habitable accommodation. The rear dormer will be constructed on the rear roof slope, set below the existing ridge line, inset from the sides of the roof and set back a minimum of 200mm from the eaves. External materials, including roof tiles, hanging tiles to the dormer cheeks and windows, will be of a similar appearance to those used on the existing dwelling. No alterations are proposed to the existing vehicular or pedestrian access, parking arrangements, hardstanding, boundary treatments, means of enclosure or drainage. The proposal does not involve the creation of a new access or highway works. The precise siting and dimensions of the proposed works are shown on the submitted drawings.
