Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed building operations fall within the scope of a conversion, and if so, whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO
What decided it
The proposed new external walls, totalling over 70 linear metres and enclosing an open-sided barn for the first time, constitute a fresh build rather than a conversion and therefore fall outside the scope of permitted development under Class Q.
