Its 4 years if you put a new structure up, 10 years if you are claiming a change of use of an existing structure.

Thank you buildersmate, this 4 year rule does apply to a caravan then and not just to a permament structure i.e. bricks and mortar

If the existing site has existing residential planning, in that there's a domestic dwelling on it and you've put a static caravan in the garden for a number of years that ordinarily needed PP, I reckon you need 4 years for a CLU because its just adding extra structures within the existing use.
If you've put a static caravan in an empty field, then its 10 years because you are trying to change the use from agricultural to whatever the category for static caravans is.
