Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would constitute permitted development under Article 3(1), Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), with particular regard to the extent of the proposed building operations to Barn B
  • If the proposal is permitted development, whether prior approval is required as to the matters listed under the condition in Paragraph Q.2.(1) of Class Q of the GPDO

What decided it

The structural survey's identification of inadequate foundations requiring extensive underpinning works that fall outside the permitted building operations listed in Class Q of the GPDO, meaning the proposal amounts to a rebuild rather than a conversion.
