Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the breach of planning control alleged in the enforcement notice, being the construction of a dwellinghouse, has occurred as a matter of fact
What decided it
The structure is composed of more than two sections and therefore does not meet the definition of a twin-unit caravan under Section 13 of Part III of the Caravan Sites Act 1968, so the breach of planning control has occurred as a matter of fact.
