Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether, in the context of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, the scope of works proposed would consist of building operations that are reasonably necessary for the building to function as three dwellinghouses

What decided it

The extent of building operations proposed, including substantial external wall and roof replacement, new concrete floors, and structural frame systems, would go beyond what could be reasonably described as a conversion and would amount to a rebuild or fresh build, thereby failing to comply with Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Order.
