Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse the certificate of lawful development application was well founded, with particular regard to whether the proposed development would comprise development requiring planning permission

What decided it

On the balance of probability, the appellant failed to provide sufficient, clear and precise evidence to demonstrate that the shipping container would not require planning permission, as its size, permanence and physical attachment to the ground collectively indicated it was a building as defined in the Act.

Judgments cited: Cardiff Rating Authority v Guest Keen Baldwin's Iron & Steel Co Ltd [1949] 1QB 385; Skerrits of Nottingham Ltd v SSETR (No 2) [2000] 2 PLR 102
