Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue the respective LDC applications is well-founded
What decided it
The installation of the lighting poles amounts to a building operation requiring planning permission because the poles would be permanently concreted in place with fixed electrical connections, and any reinstatement would constitute wholesale replacement development rather than maintenance or alteration of existing structures.
