Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed demolition would be reasonably necessary for the conversion of the building (paragraph Q.1.(j)(ii))
- Whether or not the proposal would begin within ten years of other development under Classes A(a) or B(a) of Part 6, Schedule 2 of the GPDO being carried out (paragraph Q.1.(g))
What decided it
The proposed demolition of a considerable amount of floorspace from an otherwise sound structure, combined with repositioning of an entire external wall, amounts to a rebuild which goes beyond the scope of Class Q permitted development and therefore fails to comply with paragraph Q.1.(j)(ii).
