Hi
I will try and
simplify our problem.
In 2003 we moved
a mobile home on to our agricultural land in order to provide
fulltime accommodation during the setting up of our business, at
this stage it was classified as a caravan and we had no problems.
In 2005 needed
somewhere to house our incubators and brooders (agricultural
equipment) so we built a substantial extension to the side of
the caravan after a year or so we converted it to additional
accommodation a bedroom.
In 2007 we were
the then served with an enforcement notice stating the caravan
was now a building. This was confirmed at appeal and temporary
planning permission was granted for 2 years subject to a
condition that the building shall be removed on or before 2
years. The permission ran out Feb 2010.
I have just seen
on the internet that a breach of condition relating to the use
as a single dwelling house is tested under the 4 year rule. Is
this correct?
Thank you very
much for your help.
Neil
