Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site was solely used for an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit on the required date to comply with Paragraph Q.1(a) of the GPDO
  • Whether the required building operations are to the extent reasonably necessary to carry out the conversion of the building to comply with Paragraph Q.1(i) of the GPDO

What decided it

The extent of building operations proposed, comprising replacement of the entire building envelope and substantial internal works, would constitute a substantial rebuild rather than a conversion and therefore fails to comply with paragraph Q.1(i) of the GPDO.
