Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the extent of the works proposed constitute a conversion, or are so extensive that they effectively comprise a new build and so would go beyond what is permitted by the GPDO

What decided it

The extent of the proposed building operations, particularly the provision of a new concrete floor and independent structural works for new gable walls and dividing walls, means the development goes beyond what is permitted as a conversion under Class Q of the GPDO.
