Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class M of the GPDO, specifically whether it complies with limitations at Paragraph M.1(a) and M.1(f)
What decided it
The partial demolition of the rear extension to provide vehicular access and parking was not reasonably necessary to convert the building to C3 use, as residential development could be achieved without on-site parking in this accessible town centre location.
