Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would comply with the requirements under Article 3(1), Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with particular reference to whether the building is capable of functioning as a dwelling and whether the proposed building operations are reasonably necessary
What decided it
The existing structural integrity of the steel frame and the reasonableness of the proposed building operations, particularly the external wall infilling, meant the proposal constituted a conversion rather than a rebuild and therefore fell within permitted development under Class Q of the GPDO.
