Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed building operations would exceed what is reasonably necessary to convert the building into a dwellinghouse for it to benefit from permitted development rights
  • Whether the appeal building was within an agricultural use on the date necessary for it to benefit from permitted development rights
  • If found to be permitted development, whether prior approval is required with regard to the transport and highways impacts of the development so as to comply with Paragraph Q.2(1)(a) of the GPDO

What decided it

The existing building is not suitable for conversion without substantial rebuilding, as the significant extent of new walls required and substantial building operations would exceed what is reasonably necessary under Class Q.1(i) of the GPDO.
