Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted under Article 3(1), Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), specifically whether the site is in agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit and whether the required building operations are reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse
What decided it
The extent of building operations proposed, involving significant overhaul and replacement of the existing fabric of the barn including roof timbers, external walls, and creation of new elevations, would go beyond what is reasonably necessary for conversion and therefore fall outside the scope of Class Q permitted development rights.
