Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be permitted development under Class Q(b), including whether the limitations in paragraph Q1(i)(i)(aa) and (ii) would be met
- if it would be permitted development, whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the conditions set out at paragraph Q2(1)(a) to (g)
What decided it
The extent and substance of the proposed external and internal building operations required to create the proposed dwellings would go far beyond what is reasonably necessary for a traditional conversion, amounting to a rebuild rather than a conversion, and therefore the development would not be permitted development under Class Q(b).
