Search the Public Notice PortalA PLANNING bid to place a 20-foot shipping container behind an Irvine shop has been refused by North Ayrshire Council.
The proposal was for a vacant grassed area behind the Premier store on Caldon Road and was intended for use as storage for deliveries and cardboard waste.
Applicant Lashman Singh had explained in the application form that the container would help prevent waste being "scattered around the premises and set on fire by unknown locals".
The proposed container would have been approximately 14.75 square metres in size, made of metal, and fitted with locking mechanisms.
Despite addressing previous access concerns, the council deemed the container's industrial design unsuitable for the predominantly residential area and cited adverse visual impact.
An appeal against an enforcement notice regarding a storage container previously placed without permission at the same site was dismissed in 2012. The container was removed in July that year.
Council documents said the proposal did not meet its planning policy standards.
Mr Singh was asked to consider putting up a fence or wall around the container to lessen the visual impact, but he chose to proceed with the original plan, according to a report of handling published online by the local authority.
