Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would constitute permitted development as defined in Class Q of the GPDO

What decided it

The proposal would include operations that go beyond that reasonably necessary to convert the building to a dwelling, as it would constitute new or fresh build with only a modest contribution from the current barn structure, contrary to Class Q requirements.
