Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would comply with the description of permitted development as set out by Schedule 2, Part 3, Class O of the GPDO with specific regard to the use of the building as referred to by paragraph F1
- Whether the building is a listed building or is within the curtilage of a listed building as referred to by paragraph F2(f)
What decided it
The building was not used for a use falling within Class B1(a) on 29 May 2013 or when last in use, as its operation was subsidiary and ancillary to Bristol University's D1 educational use, and therefore the proposal did not comply with the description of permitted development under Class O.
