Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the scheme would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO with regard to whether the proposed development would comprise building operations reasonably necessary to function as a dwellinghouse

What decided it

The existing agricultural building is in sufficiently robust structural condition with all four walls and enclosed roof intact, such that the proposed replacement of external cladding and roofing constitutes a conversion rather than substantial rebuilding and therefore falls within the scope of reasonably necessary building operations under Class Q of the GPDO.
