Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the structure constitutes a caravan within the meaning of the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 and the Caravan Sites Act 1968, or whether it is a building requiring planning permission

What decided it

The structure failed to satisfy the mobility test required by the Caravan Sites Act 1968, as the Appellant provided insufficient evidence that it could endure being lifted, winched, and transported without structural failure.
