Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would be permitted for the purposes of the GPDO, having regard to the limitations listed in paragraph Q.1 of Class Q, with particular regard to the cumulative floorspace of the existing building or buildings changing use, and the extent of the building operations proposed
  • If the development falls within the scope of development permitted by Class Q, whether or not prior approval would be required in relation to the transport and highways impacts of development, and the design and external appearance of the building

What decided it

The cumulative floorspace of the building changing use, including the covered areas at either end which would inevitably form part of the residential curtilage, would exceed the 465m² limit imposed by Class Q.1(b)(i)(bb) of the GPDO.
