Retrospective application for the erection of a shed,

Why Was This Approved?

• ✓Retrospective application for a shed erected due to cost constraints
• ✓Accepted as a temporary structure pending funds for a previously approved building
• ✓Site located between Starvey Road and the TT Course at Laurel Bank
• ✓Approved by officer delegation with no conditions attached

The application sought retrospective permission for a shed erected in a field at Laurel View Farm, situated between Starvey Road and the TT Course at Laurel Bank. Following a meeting with the applicant, the officer established that the shed had been built due to cost constraints, and was intended as a temporary structure until sufficient funds became available to erect the building that had already received planning approval. On that basis, the officer was satisfied the shed was acceptable and recommended approval, which was granted by delegation.

The shed was permitted because the officer accepted it as a temporary, cost-driven measure in place of a building that already had planning approval. Its temporary nature and the context of the previously approved scheme were the key factors in finding it acceptable.
