Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with particular regard to Condition Q2.-(1)
  • if the proposal does constitute permitted development, whether it would meet criteria Q2.(1)(a) to (g), and therefore, whether prior approval would be required and should be granted

What decided it

The appellant had not commenced development on the building, satisfying Condition Q2.-(1), and all criteria Q2.(1)(a) to (g) were met, particularly that the change of use would not be impractical or undesirable given the residential storage use of adjacent buildings.
