Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed change of use constitutes permitted development pursuant to Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, having particular regard to: a) whether the building operations are reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse in respect of Class Q.1 (i); and b) Q.1 (h) in relation to external dimensions
- If the proposed change of use constitutes permitted development, whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change from agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses)
What decided it
The extent of proposed building operations, including substantial alterations to the floor and additional structural works to support a new first floor and infill flank walls, goes beyond what is reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse under Class Q.1(i) of the GPDO, and therefore does not constitute permitted development.
