What is 'residential use' in planning permission?
Regarding buy a piece of rural land and having either a mobile log home or luxury caravan for holiday uses, is this considered 'residential use'?
Or is residential use when someone is living there full time?
From a website regarding this:
Provided the caravan is not for residential use, it falls completely outside planning controls, and you do not need to ask the planning authority in advance. According to the Caravan Sites Act 1968, the legal definition of a caravan includes mobile homes and self-built structures. Under this definition, there is no necessity for the caravan to have wheels, as long as it is under the size limit (60 feet long, 20 feet wide and 10 feet high), can be delivered in no more than two sections by lorry, and is capable of being moved in one piece along a road when assembled.
Residential use means a place to live, even if part time. You cannot operate a commercial business.. The caravan or whatever cannot be an ice cream stand or anything of that sort.
