Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would constitute permitted development as defined under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO
  • if the proposal is found to constitute permitted development, whether it would accord with the conditions of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO with respect to the transport and highways impacts of the development

What decided it

The existing structural frames and concrete bases would be retained with replacement of walls and roofs reasonably necessary for health and safety reasons, making the scheme a conversion rather than a rebuild, and a safe access suitable for residential use can be secured through the proposed highway works.
