Local residents opposed the development, claiming that the clamp constituted a building that required permission. Mr Justice Sullivan concluded that the council had failed to consider the totality of the development by disaggregating the base and walls. He considered that when viewed as a whole, a building had been erected. He ordered the council to reconsider its decision not to require an application.
