Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant an LDC 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 comprises a caravan capable of being moved and would be incidental to the primary dwellinghouse use, therefore not constituting a material change of use requiring planning permission.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
