Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the use of the land for storage (Class B8), use of existing building for light industrial use (Class E(g)(iii)) and siting of 3 portable storage shelters has been carried on for a sufficient period to become lawful under Section 191 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
- Whether the erection of three white-coloured buildings constitutes a breach of planning control
What decided it
The planning unit comprises a single mixed-use site where material changes of use occurred within the ten-year period, preventing the use from becoming lawful, and the three structures were operational development requiring planning permission that was never obtained.
