Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be permitted development under Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO having particular regard to whether the building operations proposed would be reasonably necessary to convert the buildings to dwellinghouses
What decided it
The Inspector found insufficient evidence to demonstrate that the proposed works would not require building operations beyond what would be reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse, particularly given the extent of structural defects identified and the lack of detailed specifications for the works.
