Council sourceCertificate of lawful development for the proposed 'Use of the land for siting a mobile home for use ancillary to the main dwelling'. The proposed mobile home meets the definition of a caravan as set out in the Caravan Sites Act 1968, and as amended in October 2006 (CSA).' Please see the Planning Statement for further information. Stationing of a mobile home within the residential curtilage of a dwelling house, for purposes ancillary to the main use of the host dwelling house, does not constitute development nor result in a material change of use within the meaning of Section 55of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) and therefore does not require planning permission. Please see planning statement for more details.
