described as “The unit in question is a caravan (as defined in the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 (as amended)), and that the siting of a caravan, on land within a planning unit, to be used for purposes ancillary to the primary use of the planning unit, does not amount to development under Section 55(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990”

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the proposal would involve the carrying out of development as defined in section 55(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
What decided it
The proposed structure satisfied the statutory definition of a caravan with limited physical attachment and lack of permanence, and therefore did not constitute development requiring planning permission.
