26 Residential Caravans

Proposals for residential caravans and mobile homes will be treated as though they were for residential buildings and will therefore be subject to the same policies and criteria unless they fall into one of the following categories:

  • temporary accommodation for agricultural or forestry workers which complies with the criteria in Policy 24;
  • touring caravan sites that accord with Policy 95;
  • gypsy caravan sites which meet the criteria in Policy 27.

In addition special circumstances may justify permission being given for a temporary period (for example when the viability of a new agricultural unit needs to be tested - see Policy 24). A temporary period will not normally exceed three years.
