1.1) In order for such a proposal to be granted Prior Approval, it is necessary to comply with the requirements of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). The proposal would require significant amendments to make the buildings habitable. As a result, the proposed works would go beyond what is reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwelling and thus contrary to the provisions of Class Q, Class Q.1(i) and, on this basis, the proposal would not be permitted by Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended).
2.2) In order for such a proposal to be granted Prior Approval, it is necessary to demonstrate that the site was part of an established agricultural unit. The established agricultural unit is defined in Paragraph 'X'. Details of the established agricultural unit have not been provided. As a result, insufficient information has been submitted and the proposal, therefore, fails to satisfy Class Q.1(a), Q.1(b), Q.1(c), Q.1(d), Q.1(e), Q.1(f), and Q.1(g) Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended).
3.3) In order for such a proposal to be generated prior approval, the extent of the curtilage must comply with the definition outlined in Paragraph 'X. All proposed units would exceed the curtilage allowed under this definition and thus would be not be permitted by Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended).
4.4) In order for such a proposal to be granted Prior Approval, it is necessary to demonstrate that the proposal complies with the requirements of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). Whilst the existing dimensions have not been provided, thus insufficient information has been provided in this respect, the proposed elevations indicate that the buildings would be rendered. The external dimensions would, thus, be increased. As a result, the proposal would fail to satisfy Class Q.1(h) of Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended).
5.5) In order for such a proposal to be granted Prior Approval, it is necessary to demonstrate whether or not there would be any flooding risks on the site. The site is located within an area at risk from surface water flooding and due to the location of Building B in particular, no information has been submitted to demonstrate how surface water flooding will be addressed. As a result, the proposal fails to comply with Q.2-(1)(d) and Q.2-(1)(e) of Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended).
6.6) In order for such a proposal to be granted Prior Approval, it is necessary to demonstrate whether or not the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change from agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses) of the Schedule to the Use Classes Order. Buildings B and C are not suitable for conversion due to their low heights rendering them unsuitable for most adults. Furthermore, due to the area identified as curtilage, there would be no provision for maintenance of the buildings or providing adequate amenity space. As a result, the proposal fails to comply with Q.2-(1)(e) of Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended).
7.7) In order for such a proposal to be granted Prior Approval, it is necessary to demonstrate whether or not the design or external appearance of the building is acceptable. Buildings B and C are not suitable for conversion due to their low heights rendering them unsuitable for most adults therefore they could not be made habitable. The use of render does reduce the link to the original use of the buildings and takes away some of the agricultural character of the building. In addition, the asbestos roof would need to be removed to make it habitable despite the submission stating it would be retained, thus insufficient information has been submitted. As a result, the proposal fails to comply with Q.2-(1)(f) of Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended).
8.8) In order for such a proposal to be granted Prior Approval, it is necessary to demonstrate whether or not there would be any adverse impacts upon ecology. The submitted Ecological Assessment does not assess all the buildings subject of this application. As a result, insufficient information has been provided and the proposal fails to comply with W.-(10)(b) of Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended).
9.9) In order for such a proposal to be granted Prior Approval, it is necessary to demonstrate whether or not the proposal complies with legislative requirements. The site appears to be located outside of the catchment for the Broads SAC and Ramsar, but confirmation that the water treatment that the mains sewer is attached to discharges outside off the catchment area has not been submitted. As a result, insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate whether or not the proposal discharges into the nutrient neutrality catchment area and the proposal fails to comply with W.-(10)(b) of Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended).
