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 particular regard to the scale and form of development
- if so, whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with particular regard to the building operations reasonably necessary to convert the building to residential use
- if so, whether prior approval would be required in accordance with the conditions set out in Paragraph Q.2 (1) of the GPDO
- if so, the impact of the development upon the North Somerset and Mendip Bats Special Area of Conservation
What decided it
The front barn falls outside the residential curtilage of the dwellings and has no provision under Class Q for conversion from agricultural to residential use, meaning the proposal does not constitute permitted development.
