Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 with specific regard to the resultant floorspace of the dwelling and the extent of the works proposed

What decided it

The proposal breached the 150 m² floorspace limitation when the balcony was properly included as part of the dwelling's floorspace, and the extent of works required (stripping to the structural frame and replacing all external materials) went beyond what could reasonably be described as conversion of an existing building.
