Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with particular reference to the extent of the building works and whether or not the proposal would be acceptable in relation to its transport and highways impacts

What decided it

The proposal amounts to a conversion with building operations reasonably necessary for the building to function as dwellinghouses, complying with Class Q of the GPDO, and the resulting traffic generation would not create unacceptable highway impacts.
