Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to amend the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 to allow for the installation of additional floors in converting agricultural buildings for residential use.
This question was answered on 7th December 2016
Additional floors can be installed when converting an agricultural building to residential use under Class Q of the General Permitted Development Order, where they are within the permitted development right. We therefore have no plans to amend the legislation in this regard.
