Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the decision of the Council was well-founded in relation to whether the shipping container comprises development

What decided it

The shipping container, by reason of its size and the high degree of permanence it would have in the particular circumstances of this site, comprises a building and therefore development, and its proposed internal layout indicates it would not be incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse.
