Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would consist of building operations that exceed those permitted as reasonably necessary to facilitate the change of use of the building to a dwellinghouse, and as such whether the proposal falls within the scope of a conversion
- Whether the conversion works to the building are acceptable in terms of their design or external appearance
What decided it
The building operations are reasonably necessary to convert the agricultural building to a dwelling and do not exceed the limitations of Class Q(b) of the GPDO, and the design and external appearance of the conversion would be acceptable and not harmful to the character and appearance of the area.
