Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal constitutes permitted development, with particular regard to the extent of building operations required, the size of the curtilage of the dwellings and the existing use of the building
- whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers of the dwellings with regards to noise, disturbance and odour
What decided it
The amount and scale of new building work required, when taken together against what would remain of the existing structure, would constitute a rebuild rather than a conversion and therefore falls outside the scope of permitted development under Class Q.
