Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a Certificate of Lawfulness for a Proposed Use or Development (CLOPUD) was well-founded

What decided it

The storage and display for sale of storage containers, without any restriction on scale, would result in a material change in the character of the use compared to the existing lawful mixed use, and no planning permission exists for that material change.
