Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
What decided it
The extent of building operations required, involving replacement of most of the existing fabric and substantial structural works, falls outside the scope of permitted development under Class Q as it would constitute substantial rebuilding rather than a reasonable conversion.
