Class Q - change of use of agricultural building to five dwellings
Category: Rural
Location: Shropshire
The Assignment
CT Planning obtained consent following an Appeal to the Secretary of State for a Class Q application for the change of use of an agricultural building to five dwellinghouses in Shropshire. The main issue was whether the extent of the proposed building operations fell within the definition of development permitted Class Q.
The Inspector found the structural integrity of the building is sound and would form an integral part of the new dwellings. A partial award of costs was made against the Planning Authority.
