Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, having regard to the provisions of paragraph Q.1(j), and the building operations proposed
What decided it
The structural report and appellant's submissions demonstrated that the existing barn could be converted to a dwellinghouse without substantial rebuilding, with only windows, doors, roof finishes, walls, and necessary services being modified, which falls within the scope of Class Q permitted development.
