- Aqbal M
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed change of use constitutes permitted development pursuant to Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, having particular regard to whether the building operations are reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse having regard to Class Q.1(i)
- whether the development would be likely to have a significant effect on the integrity of the Penhale Dunes SAC and the Fal and Helford SAC
What decided it
The extent of structural works proposed—including demolition, new internal frameworks, new foundations, and new structural walling—demonstrates the building is not suitable for conversion and the works do not constitute permitted development under Class Q of the GPDO.
