Planning permission refused in 1979

We're buying a 1960's semi-detached house, and the searches have come back showing a planning refusal for an extension in 1979, but it doesn't show the reason why the planning was refused.
That refused 1979 extension is very similar to one we'd like to do in the near future, and in 2004 the adjoining neighbours had the same extension. Is this something we should worry about, or have things just 'changed' since the 70's and we'd probably get planning permission today?

They'll have been through many changes of the local plan since then. There could have been many subtle differences in the drawings that meant they didn't comply.
Did the neighbours apply for permission and get it? That's positive.
You can get some pre-application advice from the Planning Department. Some councils still hold drop in surgeries for householders.
They will also hold the original file for the application which you can request to see. The rejection notice will state the reasons, but you could also get advice from them on what their position would be now on the same extension and what changes need making, if any.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
