Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the structure in question constitutes a building (operational development) as a matter of fact, having regard to the three factors of size, permanence and physical attachment

What decided it

The structure retained the essential characteristics of a movable trailer (wheels, towing frame, undercarriage with gap to ground, no permanent physical attachment) such that despite its size and years on site, it did not constitute operational development requiring planning permission.
