Re: 2nd caravan and prevous posting

Ok do you own your own house or is it a social housing
If it’s social housing do check with your council as apparently some won't let you
If it is your own property
Is there a restrictive covenant in the deeds which prevents the parking of caravans, boats and commercial vehicles
Developer’s covenants can only be actioned by the developer and then if they still exist

A caravan is not a building. Stationing one on land is not itself "operational development" that requires planning permission, although associated works such as the provision of infrastructure and hygiene facilities may well be. Under planning law, householders can park caravans in their gardens or driveways indefinitely, provided that no material change of use of land occurs. However, in certain circumstances, the placing of a caravan on land may change the principal use of that land, which would amount to development in the form of a material change of use of land. It is for that reason that the use of land for an occupied caravan generally requires planning permission.

The hon. Lady also asked whether there were any time limits relating to the stationing of caravans, and whether it is possible for more than one caravan to be sited without the need for planning permission. As I stated previously, caravans can be stationed indefinitely in someone's garden or driveway, provided that no material change to the use of land occurs. There is no legally defined limit on the number of caravans that can be stationed in gardens before planning permission is required. However,if so many caravans were stationed in the garden of a house that they ceased to be incidental to the principal use of that land, the local planning authority could require a planning application, or take enforcement action against the unauthorised change of land use.

no clauses about caravans , no livesock allowed particularly , cattle horses sheep pigs ang goats. The neighbours are just trouble makers. If i leave the dogs for 1 hour they complain to the council. if my tenants arrive after twelve midnight the complain. I've had every jobsworth in the council round in the last two months .
