Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would comply with the limitations set out in paragraph Q1.(j)(i) of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO
What decided it
The extent of building operations required, particularly the replacement of all wall and roof cladding combined with insufficient detail on the nature and extent of works necessary, meant the proposal would constitute rebuilding rather than conversion and therefore did not comply with paragraph Q1.(j)(i) of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO.
