Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, having particular regard to whether the building operations proposed would be reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse
What decided it
The extent of the proposed building operations, particularly the extensive glazing, would go beyond what could be described as reasonably necessary for conversion, and insufficient evidence was provided to demonstrate the existing structure could support the works without new structural elements.
