Condition Details / Information Notes
To comply with the criterion the existing building must be able to demonstrate that it is already capable of conversion and due to its existing appearance and condition, it is such that the building would not be of a solid construction that would easily allow its conversion to a dwellinghouse without substantial building works. In this case the applicant has failed to provide a sufficient level of information on the extent of the existing fabric that would be retained and the extent of building works. The updated guidance at Paragraph 105 Reference ID: 13-105-20180615 clearly states that "it is not the intention of the permitted development right to allow building work which would go beyond what is reasonably necessary for the conversion of the building to residential use and it is only where the existing building is already suitable for conversion to residential use that the building would be considered to have the permitted development right." As such, in this case the existing building is not already suitable for conversion and would not have the permitted development right to comply with Paragraph 105 Reference ID: 13-105-20180615 of the Planning Practice Guidance and due to the rudimentary and lightweight construction of the building, it would require an extensive overhaul that would go beyond more than partial demolition and substantial building works that would go beyond the remit of what would be reasonably necessary for the proposed conversion. Therefore, the proposal does not comply with Class Q Part Q1 j) (i) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development Order) 2015 (as amended).
The applicant should be aware that the application was determined on the following refused drawings: Location Plan, Elevations & Floor Plan.
Procedural Notes: The submitted plan labelled 'west elevation' is incorrect labelled and actually depicts the east elevation of the building.
