Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the building operations involved in the development would be to an extent reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse
What decided it
The structural inspection confirmed the existing structure could be retained and was suitable to support the conversion works, with three walls and the roof remaining intact, meaning the proposal constituted conversion rather than rebuilding and complied with Class Q(1)(i) of the GPDO.
