Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the structure is a caravan falling within section 29(1) of the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 (ground b)
Whether the structure amounts to a breach of planning control in the absence of planning permission (ground c)

What decided it

The structure is not a caravan but a shed requiring planning permission, and it cannot benefit from permitted development rights because it is erected in the curtilage of a flat rather than a dwellinghouse.
