Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the siting of a mobile home for purposes ancillary to the dwellinghouse is development as defined within the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
What decided it
The mobile home is a caravan within the statutory definition and remains an entirely free-standing, movable entity with no physical attachment to the ground, therefore its siting does not constitute development requiring planning permission.
