- Whether the proposed development would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO
What decided it
The cumulative extent of the proposed building works, including substantial wall rebuilding and roof replacement, would go beyond what is reasonably necessary for conversion and would amount to a significant rebuild, thereby exceeding the limitations of Class Q permitted development rights.
