Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q.1(i) of the GPDO having regard to whether the proposal would result in building operations reasonably necessary to convert the building to a dwelling house
What decided it
The demolition of two bays (approximately 28% of floorspace) and the consequent requirement to construct significant new external walls means the proposed works would constitute substantial rebuilding of the agricultural building rather than a conversion reasonably necessary to enable it to function as a dwelling.
