Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would fall within development permitted under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, and would not be excluded by paragraph Q.1
- if permitted and not excluded under Class Q, whether prior approval is required as to the location or siting of the building, the design and external appearance of the building, and the provision of adequate light in all habitable rooms of the dwellinghouse
What decided it
The proposed building operations, specifically foundation reinforcement necessary to support a second storey mezzanine, fall outside the scope of works permitted under paragraph Q.1(i) of Class Q of the GPDO, as the submitted condition survey did not demonstrate the building could support such works without foundation improvement.
