Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal proposal falls within the scope of section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
What decided it
The appeal proposal introduces two shipping containers that were not part of the original planning permission, which would require a variation to the operative part of the permission's description and therefore falls outside the scope of section 73 applications.
