Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Class Q of the GPDO having regard to whether the development would result in the external dimensions of the building extending beyond the external dimensions of the existing building and whether the extent of the building operations would go beyond those reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse to comply with Paragraphs Q.1(h) and (j) of the GPDO
- If found to be permitted development, whether or not the noise impacts would be acceptable so as to comply with Paragraph Q.2.(1)(b) of the GPDO
What decided it
The extent of building operations required, particularly the substantial new blockwork construction across three open sides and complete roof replacement, would go beyond what is reasonably necessary for conversion and would amount to a rebuild, failing to comply with paragraph Q.1(j) of the GPDO.
