Permission For Mobile Home

[eve1974]

if a plot of land with a derelict house was bought could we:

demolish the house and erect a static caravan home / lodge type dwelling. To live in permanently eventually but initially just as a holiday home.

Land is in Wales.

Ask the Local Planning Authority, not AB.

ty atheist - yes of course I would ask planning permission before we decided further. Just was wanting an idea tonight really - it's okay to sit n dream on a Monday night.

Replacing the old house with a new residential unit would, in itself, be unlikely to be regarded as a 'material change of use' (although there's no actual legal definition of the phrase). So that's one hurdle which doesn't need to be cleared.

However you will have to seek a formal decision as to whether the planning authority views the demolition (and subsequent redevelopment of the site) as requiring formal planning permission:

Eve; it's worth dreaming about it; it might come true - not out of the question; just have a word with the LPA ASAP before you get too carried away. Good luck.
