Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would constitute permitted development as defined under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO
- if the proposal is found to constitute permitted development, whether it would accord with the conditions of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO with respect to the design or external appearance of the building
What decided it
The existing structure and foundations would be retained and incorporated into the proposal, making it a conversion rather than a rebuild, and the extent of demolition and building operations would be reasonably necessary for the building to function as dwellinghouses.
