Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with particular regard to whether the building has suitable access to a public highway
- Whether prior approval would be required in accordance with Paragraph Q.2(1) of the GPDO having regard to transport and highways impacts and whether the location or siting of the building makes it impractical or undesirable for part of the building to change from agricultural use to dwellings
What decided it
The building does not have suitable existing access to a public highway as required by Paragraph Q.1(p) of the GPDO, and therefore the proposal does not constitute permitted development under Class Q.
