Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether it has been demonstrated that the proposed building operations would be reasonably necessary to convert the building to residential use under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO
What decided it
The proposed internal blockwork walls and extensive glazing would effectively amount to rebuilding of all four barn walls, and insufficient evidence was provided to demonstrate that the existing building was structurally capable of conversion without such extensive rebuilding works.
