Part Q followed by full planning

[Tom]

Quick question: if part Q change of use of a barn under permitted development has been confirmed, and I subsequently get full planning permission to completely knock down and rebuild, do I still have the PD rights to procede with the part Q conversion and ignore the planning permission?

Yes

Can’t remember but doesn’t a Part Q also have an expiry date you have to start within..?

Thanks Jimbo, that's what I thought as essentially they are PD rights. However, the planning approval states "for replacement of part Q approval" does that mean that from the date of the successful planning application there is no longer any part Q approval, or only if the planning permission is exercised and the structure built?

3 years I believe

I’m sure the OP is aware but if not, the LDC for the change of use is only valid while the existing building is still standing. Demolition of the existing building results in no LDC or PD rights.

Yep, barns untouched from initial part q application.

 

Thanks all for your responses. I have contacted the LPA and hopefully they'll give the definitive answer soon. Will report back...
