Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the caravan should be regarded to be a building for the purposes of applying the time limits set out in Section 171 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended

What decided it

The caravan was not a building because it retained the capacity to be moved and had not achieved any degree of permanency, meaning the four-year immunity rule did not apply and the ten-year rule for change of use applied instead.
