Is it a bird, is it a plane, is it a material change of use?

Article Abstract:

The Appeal Courts in the United Kingdom decided that Thames Heliport had made a material change of use by using a heliport constructed on a vessel floating on the River Thames, London. Thames Heliport had been refused permission to build an inland site to land helicopters. The company chose to use a flat decked vessel as a heliport, which would only be moored at night when it was not in use. The courts judged that the use of the riverbank as a mooring materially changed its use. The effect of noise and visual damage to the surrounding area were also considered by the courts.
