Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with particular regard to whether the development would consist of building operations reasonably necessary to convert the building to residential use, as described within Q(b) and Q.1(i)
- The effect of the proposal on the design and external appearance of the building, and whether sufficient information has been provided so to demonstrate that there would be no adverse flood risk impacts
- The effect of the proposal on protected species
What decided it
The cumulative extent of the proposed building works, particularly the demolition of sections to create separate detached units with new structural elements, would go beyond what could be described as building operations reasonably necessary to convert the existing agricultural building and would represent a fresh build rather than a conversion.
