Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development for the purposes of the GPDO having regard to whether sufficient evidence has been presented to demonstrate that the building is capable of conversion through building operations that would be reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse to comply with Paragraph Q.1(i)(i) and (ii) of the GPDO
- If found to be permitted development, whether or not the transport and highways impacts would be acceptable so as to comply with Paragraph Q.2.(1)(a) of the GPDO
What decided it
The structural report provided sufficient evidence that the building could be converted through reasonably necessary building operations without significant structural interventions, and the transport and highways impacts were acceptable given the lightly trafficked nature of the road and available parking.
