Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the installation of a timber bin enclosure structure and associated bolt-down metal post shoe brackets constitutes development requiring planning permission
What decided it
The timber enclosure's overall size, degree of permanence despite lack of current physical attachment, and practical fixity to serve its intended screening purpose collectively establish that it constitutes building operations requiring planning permission.
