Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the building operations are reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse having regard to Class Q.1(i)
- whether the development began before an application was made to the local planning authority for determination as to whether prior approval was required, having regard to Class Q.2(1)
What decided it
The appellant's failure to provide detailed structural information and clarity on the extent of proposed works meant the Inspector could not determine whether the building operations were reasonably necessary for conversion, and therefore could not find the proposal complied with Class Q.1(i) of the GPDO.
