Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A (ground c): whether the siting of the caravan constitutes operational development requiring planning permission
  • Appeal B: the effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

Appeal A succeeded because the caravan, being mobile and lacking permanent attachment to ground or services, does not constitute a building requiring planning permission; Appeal B was dismissed because the caravan's visual prominence and contrast with the residential character of the area causes unmitigated harm to character and appearance.
