Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed change of use constitutes permitted development under Paragraph Class Q1 of Schedule 2, Part 3 of the GPDO, with particular regard to whether the site lies on article 2(3) land, namely within a conservation area
  • Whether prior approval is required in relation to the conditions set out in paragraph Q2(1) of Class Q

What decided it

The part of the building proposed for conversion and its associated curtilage can be drawn entirely outside the conservation area boundary, therefore the article 2(3) land restriction in Q1(j) does not apply and the development constitutes permitted development.
