Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition is reasonable or necessary in the interests of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of the Dinton Conservation Area
What decided it
The storage container would be relatively inconspicuous within its setting and compatible with the functional nature of the existing equipment, making the screening condition unnecessary to preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
