Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the extent of the building operations would be reasonably necessary to convert the building to a dwelling house, having regard to the requirements of the GPDO
What decided it
The structural components supporting the roof were not in sound condition and their replacement would constitute rebuilding of core structural elements rather than conversion, which falls outside the scope of permitted development under Class Q of the GPDO.
