Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would constitute permitted development in respect to Class Q and paragraph Q.1(i)
- If the proposal is found to constitute permitted development, whether prior approval would be required and should be granted
What decided it
The extent of new structural elements required to infill the three open sides of the barn goes beyond building operations reasonably necessary for conversion and amounts to partial rebuild, placing the proposal outside Class Q permitted development rights.
