Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Class Q of the GPDO, specifically whether the building operations would be reasonably necessary to convert the building to a use falling within Class C3 of the Use Classes Order
What decided it
The nature and extent of the proposed building operations, involving replacement of almost the entire external envelope, would constitute a rebuild rather than a conversion and therefore exceed what is reasonably necessary under Class Q of the GPDO.
