Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, with particular regard to whether the proposal would comprise development requiring planning permission
What decided it
The appellant's evidence was not sufficiently precise and unambiguous to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that siting a shipping container on the land would not constitute building operations requiring planning permission, given the uncertainty about the container's specifications, permanence, and the significant building or engineering operations likely needed to site it in many locations on the land.
