Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO
- If so, whether prior approval should be granted for the proposed development
What decided it
The total extent of works required to convert the glasshouse to a dwelling, particularly the installation of new foundations and complete floor structure, went well beyond what could reasonably be described as conversion and amounted to fresh build, falling outside the scope of permitted development under Class Q.
