Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q(b) of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, having particular regard to whether the building operations would be reasonably necessary to convert the building
- If the proposal would be permitted development, whether it would be acceptable in terms of design and external appearance and whether it would provide adequate natural light in all habitable rooms
What decided it
The scale, extent and nature of building works required to convert the existing agricultural building had not been clearly and adequately specified, and the evidence did not demonstrate that the building was already suitable for conversion or that the operations would not exceed what is reasonably necessary under Class Q(b) of the GPDO.
