Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would consist of building operations other than the installation of windows, doors, roofs or exterior walls or water, drainage, electricity, gas or other services, to the extent reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwelling house
What decided it
The extent and scale of building works proposed, including the removal and relocation of the entire rear elevation and installation of wholly new walls, would constitute rebuilding rather than conversion and therefore exceed the scope of building operations reasonably necessary under Class Q permitted development rights.
