Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would comply with the requirements under Article 3(1), Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO 2020, with particular reference to whether the proposed building operations are reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse
What decided it
The existing building is capable of conversion and the building operations proposed, even taken cumulatively, do not amount to extensive rebuilding or creation of a new building, therefore the development is permitted under Class Q of the GPDO 2020.
