Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal falls within the terms of the permitted development right under Article 3(1), Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with specific regard to the extent of building operations proposed and the external dimensions
  • If so, whether prior approval should be granted in respect of whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change from agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3, and the design or external appearance of the building

What decided it

The barn is a skeletal structure requiring wholesale introduction of external walls and the proposed cladding would extend the external dimensions beyond the existing building, both of which fall outside the scope of Class Q permitted development.
