Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the structure is a building
  • Whether the mobile home can be considered a moveable structure required temporarily in connection with and for the duration of operations being carried out on land under Class A, Part 4, Schedule 2, Article 3 of the GPDO

What decided it

The mobile home's residential use had only been continuous for approximately four years from May 2020 to the date of the LDC application, falling short of the ten-year immunity period required under section 171B(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
