Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would comprise development permitted under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)

What decided it

The partial demolition of the adjoining building, which on the balance of probabilities occurred within the 10-year period before the application, breached the limitations in Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q.1(g) of the GPDO and therefore the proposal did not constitute permitted development.
