Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the siting and use of the caravan result in a material change of use of the land requiring planning permission
  • Whether the raising of ground levels constitutes an engineering operation requiring planning permission
  • Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice have occurred as a matter of fact

What decided it

The appellant failed to provide evidence demonstrating that the caravan use was incidental to the main dwelling or that the ground-raising works were not engineering operations, placing the burden of proof on the appellant which was not discharged.
