Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the proposal would comply with the conditions and limitations applicable to development permitted under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO with particular regard to the nationally described space standards and the size of the proposed curtilage
  • whether or not prior approval would be required and should be granted having regard to transport and highways
  • whether or not prior approval would be required and should be granted having regard to whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable to be used as a dwellinghouse, with particular regard to protected species and their habitats

What decided it

The proposed dwelling would not comply with the nationally described space standards requirement for minimum floor to ceiling height of 2.3 metres, as the building's internal height measured only 2.24 metres.
