Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether works to the caravan caused it to fall outside the definition of a caravan as set out in Section 29(1) of the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960
  • Whether those works were substantially complete four or more years prior to the relevant date
  • If so, whether it has been used as a dwelling for residential purposes for sufficient time to be immune from enforcement action

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate that the caravan had been substantially converted to a building status for four or more years before the application date, as Google Streetview evidence showed the blockwork skirt incomplete as of March 2023.
