Walker A

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A: Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development is well-founded
  • Appeal B: Whether the proposed change of use constitutes permitted development pursuant to Class Q of Part 3 of Schedule 2 to the GPDO, having regard to the extent of the works proposed, and the effect of the proposal on the appearance of the building

What decided it

The Council's failure to determine the prior approval application within 56 days resulted in deemed approval, and the proposed works satisfy the limitations of Class Q as they are reasonably necessary for conversion and do not amount to a fresh build.
