Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development complies with the conditions, limitations or restrictions applicable to development permitted by Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) (GPDO)

What decided it

The proposal has not been demonstrated to involve only building operations reasonably necessary to convert the building, as required by Class Q of the GPDO, due to uncertainty about the extent of structural works required and the building's structural adequacy.
