Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would be Permitted Development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with particular regard to whether the extent of demolition proposed to create Residential Unit 1 would constitute partial demolition to the extent reasonably necessary to carry out the proposed building operations
  • If Permitted Development, the transport and highways impacts of the development

What decided it

The proposed demolition of parts of Building A to reduce the floorspace of Unit 1 to 100m² was not reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwelling and therefore exceeded the scope of partial demolition permitted under paragraph Q.1(i)(ii) of the GPDO.
