Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the static caravan is appropriate development in the countryside
- whether the static caravan provides acceptable living conditions for occupiers
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate an essential need for on-site residential accommodation to support the business, and the static caravan's proximity to operational activities meant it could not provide acceptable living conditions for occupiers.
