- Whether the last use of the buildings was solely as an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit, in respect to Q.1(a)
- Whether the proposal would result in the external dimensions of the buildings extending beyond the external dimensions of the existing buildings and for building operations reasonably necessary to convert the buildings to dwellinghouses in respect to Q.1(h) and (i)
What decided it
The proposal would result in external dimensions extending beyond the existing buildings and building operations beyond those reasonably necessary to convert the buildings to dwellinghouses, contrary to Class Q(h) and (i) of the GPDO.
