    Class Q Permitted Development allows the conversion of existing agricultural buildings into dwellinghouses, providing a pathway for rural housing development without needing full planning permission. It was introduced in 2014 to ease pressure on housing in rural areas, including green belts. Class Q is a permitted development right, meaning it allows for certain changes to buildings without requiring explicit planning permission, according to a trpc webinar. However, it still requires a prior approval process, which is different from a full planning application.
    Key aspects of Class Q Permitted Development:
    1. Purpose:
    To enable the conversion of existing agricultural buildings into dwellings, contributing to rural housing supply.
    2. Scope:
    Allows for the change of use of agricultural buildings to dwellinghouses (Class C3) and any necessary associated works.
    3. Prior Approval:
    Requires a prior approval process, which considers factors like impact on highways, noise, contamination, flood risk, and the design of the proposed dwelling.
    4. Limitations:
    There are limitations on the number of dwellings that can be created, the size of each dwelling, and the types of modifications allowed.
    5. Green Belt:
    Class Q can be used in green belt areas, offering a potentially simpler route for development than full planning permission for a new build.
    6. Changes in 2024:
    There were significant changes to Class Q regulations in 2024, impacting the number of dwellings allowed, the size of the dwellings, and the extent of permissible extensions. For example, the number of dwellings allowed increased from five to ten, and the amount of floor space that can be converted also increased.
    Benefits of using Class Q:
    1. Simpler Route:
    Can be a more straightforward process than obtaining full planning permission for a new build.
