Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether proposed building operations are reasonably necessary to convert the building to a dwellinghouse, such that it would constitute permitted development under Class Q, having regard to whether or not the scheme would constitute a conversion

What decided it

The cumulative extent of the proposed works, including the need for a new structure within the existing frame and new loadbearing walls, would be so extensive as to constitute a rebuild rather than a conversion, failing to meet the Class Q requirement.
