Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the structures constitute buildings and therefore amount to operational development
- Whether the containers were substantially completed at least four years before the date of the LDC application and were not part and parcel of or ancillary to an unauthorised use
- Whether the containers were dependent on a temporary planning permission conditional on their subsequent removal
What decided it
The red container was relocated within the same broader site adjoining the residential development and remained in breach of permitted development conditions requiring removal, whereas the blue container had been removed from the broader site by March 2017 and was therefore lawful through the passage of time.
