Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed caravan meets the definition of a 'caravan' pursuant to section 29 of the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 as qualified by Section 13(1) of the Caravan Sites Act 1968
whether the caravan would be for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling and would not create a separate dwelling independent of the existing residential unit

What decided it

The proposed caravan failed to meet the statutory definition of a caravan because the evidence did not demonstrate it could be moved without significant structural damage, and the proposed use was not reasonably incidental to the normal use of the dwellinghouse.
