Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the building operations proposed are reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO
- Whether the proposed change of use would require prior approval under Class Q.2(1) of Schedule 3, Part 2 of the GPDO
What decided it
The extent of the proposed works to the building's external fabric—removal of metal cladding, replacement with timber cladding, insertion of a large window, and roof replacement—cumulatively amounted to substantial rebuilding rather than conversion reasonably necessary to function as a dwelling, exceeding the scope of permitted development under Class Q of the GPDO.
