- Inspector
- Jones RE
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development, having regard to whether the requirements of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of paragraph Q.1(a) of the GPDO would be met
- Whether the extent of the building operations would be reasonably necessary to convert the building to a dwelling, having regard to the requirements of the GPDO
- Whether or not the appeal building is suitable for conversion to a dwelling, having regard to its effect on flood risk and highway safety
- The effect of the proposal on protected species
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence to establish that the appeal building was solely used for an agricultural purpose as part of an established agricultural unit on 20 March 2013, and the extent of structural works required would exceed those reasonably necessary for conversion under Class Q of the GPDO.
