Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded with particular regard to whether (i) the proposal constitutes the provision of buildings and (ii), if so, whether it would be permitted development
What decided it
The permanence of the proposed facilities' position on the land, demonstrated by their fixed location on existing hardstanding and the absence of any proposal for regular movement, meant they would constitute buildings requiring planning permission and would not qualify as permitted development.
