Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO having particular regard to whether the building operations proposed would be reasonably necessary to convert the building to dwellinghouses
- whether the proposal would provide adequate natural light to the ground floor bedrooms within the proposed dwellings
- whether the siting and location of the building make it impractical and undesirable to change from agricultural use to dwellinghouses
- the effect of the proposal on the design or external appearance of the building
What decided it
The building was already structurally suitable for conversion to residential use and the proposed building operations would be reasonably necessary to effect that conversion, thereby constituting permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO.
