Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the building operations proposed are reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse
  • whether or not prior approval would be required in accordance with the condition set out in paragraph Q.2(1)(f) with particular regard to the sufficiency of the information provided

What decided it

The inclusion of complete demolition of a second agricultural building in the proposal exceeds the limitations of Class Q permitted development rights, which only allow partial demolition reasonably necessary for the conversion works to the main building.
