Static caravan breaching forward building line

Re: Static caravan breaching forward building line

I really find the local authority's conclusion on this matter incredible ( see below ). By the officer's own admission they have not sought planning permission for the siting of this static caravan not to mention it's breaching the forward building line, invades our privacy and is an eyesore. I had misgivings when she spelled accolade incorrectly. Any advice please?

I refer to your complaint concerning the above.
This matter has now been investigated and it has been established that no
breach of planning control has taken place. Evidence provided demonstrates
that the above buildings have been in place for a time period exceeding 4 years.
As such, there is no further action open to the planning department and the
unauthorised development has become lawful through the passage of time.
Should you require any further information, please contact the officer named above.

I believe the only remedy left to you is appeal to the High Court for a judicial review on the basis of legal error by the council.
Expensive, and uncertain outcome!

Thanks for the reply. The noise has been so bad we've lodged several complaints to Environmental Health but they're wily and keep quiet for exactly 30 days each time, then the constant dog barking starts up again. I've tried the harassment route too as they'll howl to start the dogs off when they quieten down and in the ASB officer's file they admit having parties with live bands until 4am. It's quite a rural area with few neighbours but as there's hoards of them living there I think everyone else is scared to complain. The vehicles, one a large Iveco signwritten van does cause problems for the farmer's harvesting equipment but not me personally.

Should it not be the farmer who is complaining?

The farmer could raise a complaint, but if he doesn't want to he doesn't have to1
