Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring residential property, having regard to outlook

What decided it

The containers' utilitarian appearance, height exceeding boundary treatments, and light green colour finish caused significant and unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding suburban residential area, conflicting with the Development Plan with no material considerations to outweigh this harm.
