Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development falls within the terms of the permitted development rights under Article 3(1), Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with specific regard to the extent of physical works proposed
  • if so, whether prior approval should be granted in respect of noise impacts, contamination risks and whether the location or siting makes it impractical or undesirable for the building to change from agricultural use to Class C3

What decided it

The totality of works required, including substantial demolition, extensive new external walls, and major structural alterations, goes well beyond what could be described as a conversion and is tantamount to a fresh build, placing the proposal outside Class Q permitted development rights.
