Wealden DC v SOS for the Environment and another
Language: English Series: Estates Gazette ; (8808) 27 February 1988, 112-124(6)Publication details: 1988Subject(s): Summary: CA 14 December 1987 Appeal by the council from a QBD decision dismissing its appeal from a decision by a planning inspector quashing an enforcement notice issued by the council. The notice required removal of a caravan stationed on agricultural land on the ground that it constituted a material change of use which required planning permission . The caravan was also considered unsightly as an alien and incongruous feature in an area of outstanding natural beauty. CA held that the caravan was being used for the storage and preparation of animal feed, related office work and shelter, all uses which were ancillary to the agricultural use of the land. Therefore there had been no material change of use and because the caravan was not a structure, it did not constitute a material change of use.
