Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development by virtue of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, having regard to the extent of the proposed building operations and the requirements of Class Q(b) and paragraph Q.1(i) of the Order
What decided it
The cumulative extent and magnitude of the proposed building operations would be so extensive as to constitute a rebuild rather than a conversion, thereby falling outside the permitted development rights under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q(b) of the Order.
