- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), with particular regard to the building operations reasonably necessary to convert the building to residential use
What decided it
The extent of works required to the walls, roof and demolition of lean-to structures goes beyond building operations reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwelling and amounts to a partial rebuild rather than a conversion.
