Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would constitute permitted development in respect of paragraph Q.1
  • if it is found to constitute permitted development, whether prior approval would be required and should be granted in accordance with paragraph Q.2 with specific regard to whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change from agricultural use to a dwelling

What decided it

The proposed demolition works to reduce the building footprint were not reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwelling but were instead necessary only to comply with the 150 square metre floor space limitation, placing them outside the scope of permitted development under Class Q.
