Review procedure 
The Local Review Body will decide on the procedure to be used to determine your review and
may at any time during the review process require that further information or representations be
made to enable them to determine the review.  Further information may be required by one or a
combination of procedures, such as: written submissions; the holding of one or more hearing
sessions and/or inspecting the land which is the subject of the review case.   
Please indicate what procedure (or combination of procedures) you think is most appropriate for
the handling of your review. You may mark more than one box if you wish the review to be
conducted by a combination of procedures. 
1. Further written submissions 
2. One or more hearing sessions 
3. Site inspection 
4. Assessment of review documents only, with no further procedure 
If you have marked box 1 or 2, please explain here which of the matters (as set out in your
statement below) you believe ought to be subject of that procedure, and why you consider further
submissions or a hearing are necessary: 
The plan had always been to clad/soften the exterior of the container to fit it in with the sourrounding
however this had not been undertaken by the time the application had to be submitted. 
Unfortunaley there was no space in the initial application to state what modifications would be
taking place as this was done in retrospect. 
Site inspection 
In the event that the Local Review Body decides to inspect the review site, in your opinion: 
1. Can the site be viewed entirely from public land? Yes 
2. Is it possible for the site to be accessed safely, and without barriers to entry? Yes

If there are reasons why you think the Local Review Body would be unable to undertake an
unaccompanied site inspection, please explain here: 
Statement 
You must state, in full, why you are seeking a review on your application.  Your statement must
set out all matters you consider require to be taken into account in determining your review. 
Note: you may not have a further opportunity to add to your statement of review at a later date.  It
is therefore essential that you submit with your notice of review, all necessary information and
evidence that you rely on and wish the Local Review Body to consider as part of your review.   
If the Local Review Body issues a notice requesting further information from any other person or
body, you will have a period of 14 days in which to comment on any additional matter which has
been raised by that person or body. 
State here the reasons for your notice of review and all matters you wish to raise.  If necessary,
this can be continued or provided in full in a separate document.  You may also submit additional
documentation with this form. 
Backgound: 
When I purchased this property in May 2023 I had planned to place the storage container on a
temporary basis to house my belongings while I renovated the property.  Unfortuanately, the
property had a lot more work needing done than initially anticipated.  The main renovation works
on the house are coming to an end over the next few months, then the garden renovation will
commence.  
In order to keep my expenses to a minimum I have been doing the vast majority of the work
myself, as such I have purchased a range of DIY and gardening tools, all of which are stored in
the contatiner. As these add up to quite a sizeable investment, the steel container provides a
level of security that a timber garden shed would not. 
Going forward, I would like to keep this container to be used for the following purposes:  
The front 1/4 as a garden shed to store general gardening tools. 
1/4 will be shelved with boxes for seasonal storage
back 1/2 will be a tool store with a countertop to allow me to undertake future DIY and maintance
projects.   
I will not be adding windows or additional doors to the contatiner or modifying the steelwork in
any way (other than maintance welding if leaks occour) . 
To respond to the initial complaint and regection of the planning application; 
I plan to clad the steel container with locally purchased timber making it look like a large wooden
structure.  I will also place flower boxes around the base to soften the "industrial" look.  I can
create a pitched or sloping roof if this would assist in softening the apperance and disguising it as
more of a garden shed. 
This cladding, and roof modification, could be carried out before November.

Have you raised any matters which were not before the appointed officer at
the time the determination on your application was made?  Yes  No 
If yes, you should explain in the box below, why you are raising new material, why it was not
raised with the appointed officer before your application was determined and why you consider it
should now be considered in your review. 
I was asked to submit drawings and an application for the container in retrospect.  At the time,
personal finances did not allow me to clad the container for the final appearance to be taken into
consideration. At the time my priority was on the living accommodation. When filling in the initial
application, I did not see an appropraite place to discuss future appearance of the container, if I
had this would have been inculded at the time.   
List of documents and evidence 
Please provide a list of all supporting documents, materials and evidence which you wish to
submit with your notice of review and intend to rely on in support of your review. 
PDF containing Cladding and flower trough examples.
