Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether the matters alleged constitute a breach of planning control
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that the caravan was used for agricultural welfare or accommodation purposes on a basis that would make its storage incidental to farming, and the evidence showed the caravan remained on the land permanently rather than being removed when not required.
