Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the shipping container is a portable structure (caravan) that does not require planning permission or a building that does
- Whether planning permission should be granted for the container as a building
- Whether the compliance period of 3 months for the enforcement notice is reasonable
What decided it
The container constitutes a building rather than a portable caravan, requires planning permission, and should be refused as it is contrary to local plan policies and is being used as a holiday dwelling rather than ancillary to the main dwelling.
Plan policies cited: Policy H2, Policy NE4
