Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed change of use constitutes permitted development pursuant to Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, having regard to the extent of the building operations proposed

What decided it

The proposed building operations, including installation of exterior walls, insulation, internal partitions, and new windows and doors, constitute works reasonably necessary for conversion and do not amount to a rebuild, thereby satisfying the requirements of Class Q of the GPDO.
