Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would constitute permitted development in respect to paragraph Q.1 of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO
- If the proposal is found to constitute permitted development, whether prior approval would be required in accordance with paragraph Q.2, with specific regard to the design and external appearance of the building
What decided it
The appeal bay cannot be considered largely enclosed and weatherproof in its existing state, and the substantial works required to enclose the northern elevation exceed what is reasonably necessary to convert an agricultural building to a dwelling under Class Q permitted development rights.
