Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed change of use constitutes permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with regard to the extent of building operations proposed
What decided it
The extensive demolition and construction of eight new external walls, combined with the resulting odd proportions of the five detached buildings bearing no meaningful resemblance to the original poultry buildings, demonstrated that the works exceeded those reasonably necessary for conversion and therefore fell outside the permitted development right.
