Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would constitute permitted development in respect to Class Q and paragraph Q.1(i); and, if the proposal is found to constitute permitted development, whether prior approval would be required and should be granted
  • the effect of the development on the Chilterns Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

What decided it

The existing building is not capable of conversion as the works required to infill open sections and replace substantial portions of the frame, roof and cladding go beyond building operations reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwelling and amount to partial rebuild.
