Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the local planning authority determined within 56 days the application made pursuant to paragraph Q.2 to determine if prior approval was required for a proposed change of use of an agricultural building to a dwellinghouse (Class C3), and for building operations reasonably necessary for the conversion
- whether the proposed development would fall within development permitted under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, and would not be excluded by the applicable conditions, limitations or restrictions
What decided it
The local planning authority failed to determine the prior approval application within the statutory 56-day period, resulting in deemed approval under the GPDO.
