Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the siting of up to 26 static caravans for holiday use would amount to a material change of use from the use permitted by planning permission 2016/0557/COU
Whether such a use would be expressly prohibited by any planning condition

What decided it

The siting of additional caravans of the same type and character as those already permitted, subject to the same holiday-use-only restriction and with no express numerical limitation imposed by condition, would not amount to a material change of use and would not breach any planning condition.
