Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether as a matter of fact there has been a material change of use of the Land to the residential use of a caravan at the time when the notice was issued

What decided it

The structure comprised more than two parts due to extensions and alterations, failing the construction test required for a twin-unit caravan under section 13 of the Caravan Sites Act 1968.
