Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse the certificate was well-founded, having regard to whether the proposal falls within the definition of a caravan, and if so, also having regard to the relationship with the main dwelling

What decided it

The proposed structure met the legal definition of a caravan under the 1960 and 1968 Acts and would be used as ancillary accommodation with a close functional relationship to the main dwelling, therefore no planning permission was required.
