Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the siting of the metal shipping container constitutes a breach of planning control under ground (c)
  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control or injury to amenity under ground (f)
  • Whether the period specified for compliance falls short of what should reasonably be allowed under ground (g)

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate that the shipping container was reasonably required in connection with any current or imminent operations, and the existence of extant planning permission for an amended outbuilding provided an obvious less-disruptive alternative to achieve the enforcement notice's purpose.
