- The effect of the proposal on the design and external appearance of the building
What decided it
The structural appraisal evidence demonstrating the building was sufficiently structurally sound and capable of conversion without rebuilding, combined with the retention of the building's agricultural character through use of existing openings, satisfied the reasonableness test for building operations and design criteria under Class Q of the GDPO.
