Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded with particular regard to whether (i) the proposal is, by definition, a caravan and, (ii) if not, whether it is a building which would meet the limitations and conditions of Class E of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), and, if not, (iii) whether use of the land for the siting of a caravan would constitute a material change of use of the land requiring planning permission
What decided it
The proposal constitutes a caravan as defined in the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1968 and would be incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse, therefore not amounting to development requiring planning permission.
