| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
Based on the evidence submitted the proposal does not benefit from permitted development as set under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q, of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015. The Council is of the opinion that the original Prior Approval Application (RB2024/0903) was determined within the appropriate 56 day period, and in any event the proposal would not meet the following requirements of Class Q:
(i) The site is no longer an established agricultural unit and was not part of any established agricultural unit on 24th July 2023. Since any agricultural use ceased it has been used in part as an unauthorised residential dwelling, and has been unused
for many years. Therefore it does not benefit from the agricultural buildings to dwellinghouses right under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q(1) (a) and (b).
(ii) Works have already been carried out, and under Q(2) (1) this prior approval route
cannot be engaged.
(iii) The cumulative land area occupied by the dwelling's garden area and adjacent parking and turning area, i.e. curtilage, would exceed the footprint area of the barn building subject to the proposed residential conversion. The proposal therefore fails to satisfy Class Q (a) and paragraph (x) of Schedule 2 Part 3 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015.
