| Applicant | Mr Eric Gill |
| Agent | Mr Simon Rowles, Greenaway Planning Limited |
| Agent Address | PO Box 937 Worcester WR4 4GS |
| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The appearance and condition of the building is such that it is not of a solid construction that would easily allow its conversion to a dwellinghouse without substantial building works being carried out, which go beyond what is deemed to be reasonably necessary and would therefore constitute a new build rather than a conversion of the original building. As such the existing building is not capable of conversion and does not have the permitted development rights under Paragraph 105 Reference ID: 13 105 20180222 due to the amount of building works required that go beyond the remit of what would be reasonably necessary for the proposed conversion, the proposal does not comply with Class Q(c), Q.1(j) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development Order) 2015 (as amended). |
