Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed building operations would fall within the scope of a conversion and, if so, whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, as amended
  • Whether the location or siting of the building would make it impractical or undesirable for it to change from an agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouse) of the Use Classes Order, having regard to the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal constitutes a permitted conversion under Class Q of the GPDO because the building operations are reasonably necessary for conversion to residential use and the location and siting would not make it impractical or undesirable having regard to character and appearance.
