Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal represents permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, having regard to the extent of building operations proposed
What decided it
The cumulative scale of building operations required, particularly the extensive structural works needed to the rear section and the significant works beyond the appeal building itself (glasshouse demolition, drainage installation, and caravan parking), would amount to a rebuild rather than a conversion and therefore fall outside the scope of permitted development under Class Q.
