Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed dwellings would comply with the permitted development requirements set out at Class Q of the GPDO, with specific regard to parts Q.(b) and Q.1.(i) and the extent of the proposed cumulative works to the buildings being reasonably necessary to allow for conversion into dwellings
  • Whether development under Class A(a) or Class B(a) of Part 6 of the GPDO has been carried out on the established agricultural unit

What decided it

The extent of the proposed cumulative works, involving replacement of substantially all exterior materials and significant demolition, would constitute rebuilding rather than conversion and therefore would not be reasonably necessary to allow for conversion into dwellings under Class Q of the GPDO.
