Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the huts are caravans
  • Whether the hard surfaces, steps and canopies attached to them are lawful
  • Whether the siting and use of the huts for ancillary purposes is development which requires express or deemed planning permission

What decided it

The land on which the huts are sited forms part of a single residential planning unit (curtilage) with the dwellinghouse, so the siting and ancillary use of the caravans did not amount to a material change of use requiring planning permission.
