Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the metal container building, two wooden sheds and four raised planters constitute operational development requiring planning permission
  • Whether the enforcement notice's requirements go beyond that which is reasonably necessary to remedy the breach of planning control

What decided it

The metal container, assessed against the factors of size, permanence and physical attachment, constitutes a building and operational development for which planning permission has not been granted, whereas the sheds and planters do not require planning permission.
