Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters alleged to have taken place amount to a breach of planning control, particularly whether the shipping containers constitute operational development
  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive
  • Whether the period for compliance with the notice is too short

What decided it

The Inspector varied the compliance period from three months to six months on ground (g), finding that whilst the original period was too short, a longer period would be excessive given the serious visual harm to the street scene and the need for prompt remediation.
