Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would fall within the definition of development permitted by Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 with specific regard to the suitability of the appeal building for conversion and its resulting external dimensions
- whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change from agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3, with particular regard to outdoor space and potential contamination
What decided it
The proposed external cladding and timber boarding would result in the external dimensions of the building extending beyond the external dimensions of the existing building at any given point, in breach of paragraph Q.1(h) of the GPDO.
