Decision 1. The appeal is dismissed. Main Issue 2. Whether the proposal constitutes permitted development. Reasons 3.

8 Wincanton Gardens, Ilford, Essex, IG6 2BP — London Borough of Redbridge — Appeal Decision This Class allows for a change of use of a building and any land within its curtilage from a use falling within Class C1 (hotels), C2 (residential institutions), C2A (secure residential institutions) or Class E (commercial, business or service) of the Use Classes Order to use as a state-funded school falling within Class F.1(a) to that Order. 4. The appeal property does not fall within any of the aforementioned use classes as it is a residential dwelling in Use Class C3. The proposed change of use cannot therefore be considered under this Class of the GPDO. Furthermore, the proposed change of use to a guest house also does not fall within the scope of this particular Class of permitted development as a guest house is not a learning and non-residential institution for the provision of education within Class F.1(a). 5. Accordingly, the proposal is not permitted development under Schedule 2, Article 3, Part 3, Class T of the GPDO as applied for, thus it is unnecessary and inappropriate for me to proceed to consider the prior approval matters, including highway and noise impacts of the proposal, set out in T.2 (1)(b). Consequently, the appeal should not succeed.
