- Brownless E
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal scheme would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development)(England) Order 2015 with particular regard to whether the extent of the works proposed to the building go beyond those permitted under Class Q
- whether a determination was made by the local planning authority within the 56-day statutory period
- whether Prior Approval should be given having regard to the conditions of Q.2 in respect of whether it would be impractical or undesirable to change from an agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses)
What decided it
The Council's failure to serve notice of its decision within the statutory 56-day period means prior approval is deemed to have been granted under the GDPO.
