Southend Road, Corringham, Essex, SS17 9EY

The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the requirement to remove dismantled marquee components from the land within two months is excessive having regard to the lawful fallback of on-site open air storage under the B8 permission (ground f).

The marquee in the location shown with an 'x' on the attached plan was erected on the Land. A planning application to retain this development was submitted under reference 21/01761/FUL and refused. Appeal number APP/M1595/W/22/3307471 was lodged and dismissed. The breach remains

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the requirement to remove dismantled marquee components from the land within two months is excessive having regard to the lawful fallback of on-site open air storage under the B8 permission (ground f)
  • Whether the compliance period is reasonable (ground g)

What decided it

The existence of a lawful fallback position permitting B8 open air storage on the site made the requirement to remove dismantled marquee components from the land excessive, while three months provided a reasonable balance between the appellant's business needs and the harm to the Green Belt and character of the area.
