Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the extent of the building operations proposed would be reasonably necessary to convert the building to a dwelling, having regard to the requirements of the GPDO
- Whether the proposed change of use would be permitted development under Class Q of the GPDO in respect of the proposed curtilage
- The effect of the proposal on protected sites
What decided it
The requirement for new foundations for the new dwarf wall on the northern elevation falls outside the permitted building operations under Class Q.1(i) of the GPDO and constitutes rebuilding rather than conversion.
