Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO
What decided it
The requirement for structural underpinning and foundation works, which fall outside the list of works reasonably necessary for conversion under Class Q, means the building is not presently suitable for conversion and therefore the proposal is not permitted development.
