the ‘conversion of two barns to C3 residential units under Class Q of the 2018 GPDO

Authority: Buckinghamshire Council - Aylesbury Area *
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Wilkinson H

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the development proposed in Appeal A and Appeal B would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO
the effect of the development proposed in Appeal A and Appeal B on the design and external appearance of the building
the effect of the proposed development (Appeal A) on nesting and roosting birds
whether the proposed development (Appeal A) would conflict with the interpretation of the word 'curtilage' as defined by paragraph X of Part 3, Schedule 2 of the GPDO

What decided it

The cumulative extent of building operations, involving removal of all original external fabric and replacement with new materials, would constitute a rebuild rather than a conversion permitted under Class Q.1(i) of the GPDO.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
