Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed building operations would effectively amount to installation or replacement of elements of the buildings beyond that which is permitted by paragraph Q.1(i) of the GPDO

What decided it

The structural integrity of Barn 1 and the degree of existing enclosure meant that the proposed works could be achieved through conversion rather than rebuilding, thereby complying with paragraph Q.1(i) of the GPDO.
