Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with particular regard to whether the building operations would amount to a conversion and whether the proposed development would satisfy the requirements of paragraph Q1(j)
- If the proposal is permitted development, whether prior approval is required, having particular regard to the design or external appearance of the building
What decided it
The building is capable of functioning as a dwelling with only minor repairs and the proposed conversion works, including partial demolition and new openings, would not amount to substantial rebuilding but rather a genuine conversion within the scope of Class Q permitted development rights.
