Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal satisfies the requirements of the GPDO with regard to being permitted development for a change of use from an agricultural building to two dwellinghouses, having particular regard to the requirements of Class Q.1(i)
- If so, whether the location and siting of the agricultural building makes it impractical or undesirable for it to be used as dwellinghouses, in terms of whether it would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, having particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The building's deteriorated structural condition and lack of up-to-date evidence demonstrating it could be converted without operations exceeding those reasonably necessary under Class Q meant the proposal did not satisfy the GPDO requirements.
