Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development carried out was permitted under Class Q(b) of Part 3 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO, with regard had to limitation Q.1(i)(i) and the details granted prior approval in April 2021

What decided it

The building was stripped back to its steel frame and substantially rebuilt, which amounted to reconstruction rather than conversion and therefore exceeded the limitations of Class Q(b) permitted development rights.
