Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would constitute permitted development in respect of Class Q and paragraph Q.1(i)
- If the proposal is found to constitute permitted development, whether prior approval would be required and should be granted
What decided it
The building would require substantial physical intervention including new walls where sections are currently missing and likely replacement of the roof and existing materials, which goes beyond the reasonably necessary building operations permitted under Class Q and amounts to substantial rebuilding of the pre-existing structure.
