Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the use of the CLOPUD area, as depicted by the red line application plan, as a caravan site on which caravans can be positioned was lawful on 15 October 2018

What decided it

The 1961 planning permission for use as a caravan site was retrospective and therefore not subject to a time limit for commencement, meaning it remained in force and lawfully permitted the use of the CLOPUD area as a caravan site on 15 October 2018.
