Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the umbrellas constitute a breach of planning control, specifically whether they constitute a building operation for the purposes of section 55 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
What decided it
The umbrellas' ease of movement on wheeled bases, combined with their lack of permanent physical attachment to the land and ease of assembly and collapse, meant they did not constitute a building operation for the purposes of section 55 of the 1990 Act.
