Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town & Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
What decided it
The extent of building works proposed would amount to a fresh build rather than a conversion, as the building lacks sufficient substance and suitability for conversion to residential use, thereby exceeding the scope of works reasonably necessary under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO 2015.
