Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The extent of works
- Whether the location of the building makes it undesirable for the building to change from agricultural use to a residential dwelling
- The provision of adequate natural light to all habitable rooms
What decided it
The proposal failed to satisfy the Class Q permitted development criteria on all three main issues: insufficient evidence of reasonably necessary works, undesirability due to the scale of retained agricultural use adjacent to residential accommodation, and inadequate natural light to habitable rooms.
