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, turning on whether the siting of a caravan within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse for the residential purposes proposed would amount to development requiring planning permission
What decided it
The caravan would maintain a clear functional relationship with the host dwelling through reliance on shared utilities, shared garden use, single ownership and control, and ancillary rather than independent occupation, such that it would not create a separate planning unit and thus would not constitute a material change of use requiring planning permission.
Judgments cited: Uttlesford District Council v Secretary of State for the Environment and White [1991] 2 PLR 76
