  1. We had applied for change of use under class q for 2 agricultural barns on our property and we were granted permission from the council. Upon starting work we needed to take the foundations deeper as per the plans that had been submitted and so we have cut a 45cm perimeter around the original base and this 45cm perimeter has been taken down the level required for building control. In order to do this safely we have taken down the barn and parts have been sent off for refurbishment whilst other parts are being replaced however we do have some of the original beams on site. As far as we were aware this was allowed as in the info I have read online it states you can partially demolish if required. A neighbour apparently called the council and asked them to investigate and they have since said as the barns have been completely demolished, including the concrete slabs on which they stood. As a result, it appears that the works can’t be carried out as ‘Permitted Development’ (Part 3 Class Q). As you therefore no longer have a valid planning permission against which you may undertake construction I suggest you cease all works without delay. Please confirm when the works have ceased. The highlighted note is incorrect as the concrete slabs on which the barns stood are still in place. We have added further concrete around the perimeter but the original concrete is still there. Also note that the barns had not been completely demolished when the council did the site visit the beams/trusses were in place, they had been temporarily moved in order to pour additional concrete around perimeter but then put back in place immediately. Do we have any chance of appealing this to get the work back under way or is this now dead in the water? Any advice from anyone who has been through similar would be appreciated.
