Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be permitted development as defined in Class Q of the GPDO

What decided it

The existing agricultural building's timber frame was capable of functioning as a dwelling with only reasonably necessary building operations, representing a conversion rather than a rebuild, and therefore qualifying as permitted development under Class Q of the GPDO.
