Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- 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 paragraph Q.1
- if permitted and not excluded under Class Q, whether prior approval is required as to whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change use to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses) and as to the design and external appearance of the building
What decided it
The alternative design option (Option 2) with partially retained side walls and roof slope would adequately protect the setting of the listed heritage assets by screening the domesticating effect of the glazed elevation from public views along Rownall Road.
