Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development)(England) Order 2015 (as amended)
What decided it
The structural appraisal demonstrated that extensive underpinning works would be required across the building's foundations to enable residential use, which goes beyond the scope of building operations permitted under Class Q and means the building was not already suitable for conversion.
