Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the siting and occupation of a caravan for residential purposes constitutes a breach of planning control, or whether it amounts to permitted development under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015

What decided it

The appellant was employed in connection with building operations for the conversion of The Old Dairy under an existing planning permission, and substantial construction work had been undertaken, satisfying the requirements for permitted development under Class A, Part 5 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO.
