Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal complies with the description of permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with particular regard to the building operations reasonably necessary to convert the building to residential use

What decided it

The extent of structural intervention required, including new internal structural frames, underpinning, foundation strengthening, and new exterior walling, goes beyond what can reasonably be described as conversion and amounts to an extensive rebuild, which falls outside the scope of permitted development under Class Q.
