Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO with regard to paragraphs Q.1(g)(i) and Q(b)
  • If so, whether the prior approval details relating to the highway impacts of the proposed development, including vehicle parking and manoeuvring, would be acceptable

What decided it

The proposal failed to satisfy the requirements of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO on two grounds: alterations carried out in October 2021 breached paragraph Q.1(g)(i), and the extent of works required would constitute a fresh build rather than a conversion reasonably necessary under Class Q(b).
