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.
