Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed structure falls within the definition of a caravan under section 29(1) of the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960
  • Whether the structure constitutes a building requiring planning permission or operational development

What decided it

The permanent nature of the screw pile foundations and the degree of attachment to the land, combined with the implausibility of moving the structure and the necessity for new foundations at any destination, mean the structure cannot realistically be categorized as capable of being moved and therefore does not meet the statutory definition of a caravan.
