Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, having particular regard to whether the building operations proposed would be reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse
What decided it
The extent and nature of the building operations proposed—particularly the independent foundations and new internal walls—would constitute substantial rebuilding rather than a true conversion reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse, contrary to Class Q(a) and (b) of the GPDO.
