Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the building in question benefits from the relevant permitted development rights under Class Q of the General Permitted Development Order, with particular reference to whether the proposed works would amount to a conversion or rebuilding

What decided it

The extent of works required—including a new load-bearing floor, external walls, and probable cladding replacement—would amount to substantial rebuilding of the pre-existing structure rather than a conversion, placing the proposal outside the scope of Class Q permitted development rights.
