Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development falls within the terms of the permitted development rights under Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with specific regard to the extent of the proposed building operations

What decided it

The existing building's structural integrity was sound and capable of conversion to residential use with building operations that, despite being extensive, did not amount to complete or substantial rebuilding and therefore fell within the scope of Class Q permitted development rights.
