Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal is permitted development under Class Q of the GPDO, with particular regard to whether the proposed building operations would be reasonably necessary to convert the building to a dwelling
  • Whether the appeal building is part of an established agricultural unit

What decided it

The proposed building operations would constitute substantial rebuilding works that go beyond what is reasonably necessary to convert the building to residential use under Class Q of the GPDO, as the existing structure is not currently suitable for conversion without comprehensive rebuilding.
