| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The structural evidence submitted does not adequately demonstrate that the building is capable of conversion without substantial reconstruction. The cumulative extent of works including full roof replacement, potential structural reinforcement, and possible foundation intervention would go beyond what is reasonably necessary and would amount to a rebuild. Accordingly, the proposal does not fall within the scope of permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). |
| The Local Planning Authority has acted positively and proactively in determining this application by assessing the proposal against planning policy and any other material considerations by identifying matters of concern with the proposal and determining the application within a timely manner, clearly setting out the reason(s) for refusal, allowing the Applicant the opportunity to consider the harm caused and whether or not it can be remedied by a revision to the proposal. The Local Planning Authority is willing to provide pre-application advice in respect of any future application for a revised development. |
