Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would fall within development permitted under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, and would not be excluded by paragraph Q.1
- if permitted and not excluded under Class Q, whether prior approval is required as to the location or siting of the building and as to the design and external appearance of the building
What decided it
The extent of building operations required, involving stripping to the steel frame and substantially rebuilding the structure, exceeds what is reasonably necessary under Class Q paragraph Q.1(i) and therefore constitutes rebuilding excluded from permitted development.
