Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development meeting the requirements of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q(b) of the Order, having regard to whether it would comprise building operations reasonably necessary to convert the building to a dwelling house
What decided it
The cumulative extent of the building operations proposed would go beyond what is reasonably necessary to convert the building to a dwellinghouse and would amount to a fresh build rather than a conversion, falling outside the scope of Class Q(b) permitted development rights.
